Errors in /var/log/messages:
1 | kernel: Current sda: sense key Recovered Error |
2 | kernel: Additional sense: Failure prediction threshold exceeded |
3 | kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sda9) in ext3_setattr: Journal has aborted |
4 | kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sda9) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted |
Fix with (requires reboot + can be slow):
1 | fsck .ext3 -f -y /dev/sda9 |
To identify that name /dev/sda9 I used:
Following this, force a full fsck to double check everything with:
The /forcefsck file is removed automatically post reboot.
If that doesn’t fix the problem – and maybe even if it does, for safety – replace the hard disk.
