Reoccurring filesystem corruption

[Philip Murray]

Hi,

I have a 4.11 machine that keeps getting file-system corruption on a  
single ATA drive (on a ServerWorks ROSB4, not the 3ware mentioned in  
the dmesg bewlow). In the nightly run e-mails I see pages and pages of:

Checking setuid files and devices:
find: /usr/share/locale/fr_CA.ISO8859-15: Bad file descriptor
find: /usr/share/locale/fr_CH.ISO8859-1: Bad file descriptor
find: /usr/share/locale/fr_FR.ISO8859-1: Bad file descriptor
find: /usr/share/locale/fr_CH.ISO8859-15: Bad file descriptor

Every time I see this, I run a fsck over the file-system in single  
user mode and fsck claims to have fixed all the corruption. Then,  
anywhere from a week to a month later, it starts happening again and  
gets worse and worse.

Is this a sign of a dead disk, faulty ATA controller, or something  
wrong with FreeBSD? I get no error messages in dmesg. Is it possible  
fsck isn't actually fixing everything there is to be fixed? Is there  
some way of forcing fsck to do a more thorough check?

Cheers

Philip Murray
