attempt to access beyond end of device
Hi,

we have running 8 box sles 9 cluster and on an nfs filesystem we have the problem which is grepped from /var/log/messages.

Jun 8 13:40:46 qnclpx02 kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
Jun 8 13:40:46 qnclpx02 kernel: sdat: rw=0, want=8894615912, limit=314572800

Is there anyone with any idea about this problem?

Thx in front

Have fun

When I have seen this on a laptop, it's usually been a sign that the hard drive is about to give up. My uninformed guess is that the file system is becoming corrupted, and ends up pointing to sectors which are outside of the physical disk.
