No, I'm guessing he showed the right messages. His messages had SELinux in them, which to me spells headache and heartbreak. Try flipping off SELinux: http://www.crypt.gen.nz/selinux/disable_selinux.html If that gets things working, then you need to either decide to become and SELinux expert and then post your root password on the internet like so many others, or you need to permanently disable it. Having it in permissive mode though will allow you to see what SELinux roles need what permissions in the logs for what you are doing, if you decide to go the way of heartbreak and headache. Good luck. Randall Mason * * * * On Sat, Sep 17, 2011 at 5:17 AM, Chuck Anderson <cra@wpi.edu> wrote:

----------------------- I have no idea what dmesg is talking about. The data seems to match the 'mount' statement and yesterday's date, Sept 15th.
Yes, but was does "dmesg | grep hdb" say? That will search the entire dmesg output for anything related to hdb, rather than just showing the last 10 lines of dmesg which you posted above. dmesg shows all "recent" kernel log messages. They may also be in /var/log/messages, so you can show that too:
grep hdb /var/log/messages
Another thing to try is a S.M.A.R.T. test on the hard drive:
Install the package:
yum install smartmontools
Post this output:
smartctl -a /dev/hdb smartctl -l selftest /dev/hdb
Perform a short test:
smartctl -t short /dev/hdb
(wait until short test is completed--it will say on the screen when that will be)
Show test results again:
smartctl -l selftest /dev/hdb _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
