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.

Is this signs of a failing hard drive?
