File system problems

Hi All,

I am currently running Linux on a file server. The server starts experiencing problems (slow access, no access).
After a shutdown and reboot, the file system is corrupted and requires to run fsck to clean up.
Is this signs of a failing hard drive?

Failing harddrive is often when you see stuff like
"dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }"
or simular.

But this sure is a sign too.
fsck can't manage it on it's own? You need to do it by manual?

In that case it aint often much to do but do it...
:/ (what I know of) I do allmost allways have Mirrored disks.

check the system logs for anything that refers to read-write errors to the drives in question as well as general errors ... if you see more than a few of them --- there's a good chance your drives are failing and you should replace them ... good luck!
