Write-error on swap-device, Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
- by Jan
My root server at 1&1 was unresponsive on HTTP and SSH, so I logged into the serial console . It flooded my connection with endless error messages like quoted below.
I initiated a reboot and now everything seems to work properly.
After googling, I installed smartctl and ran a short self test, which told me the device was healthy.
Is this likely a disk failure soon to happen or could it be just some program going wild? I assume, the swap device could also grow full when huge amounts of memory get consumed by a buggy program? How can I find out for sure?
The sever was already unresponsive a week ago when I just restarted it without proper investigation.
The server is running on CentOS.
