Segmentation faults

ljj3
On a VPS we are seeing: cron email: /bin/bash: line 1: 14314 Segmentation fault /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_mailman --status &>/dev/null dmesg: [50244.991952] restartsrv_sshd[23947]: segfault at 4dfad9 ip 00002ba10f8cfa7a sp 00007ffd0ce06c00 error 7 in libperl.so[2ba10f7db000+2f8000] The machine logged altered RPM messages a few days ago - FSCK finding several errors It logs CSF/LFD integrity errors and occasionally falsely reports services down. Our other VPSs from the same provider have run flawlessly for 4-5 years.... Any thoughts on what is happening?

    " FSCK finding several errors " indicates that the hard disk is failing.

    Agreed - it sounds like you're experiencing hardware issues. If you don't have good backups, now is the time to make some and be prepared to migrate your data to another machine.

    It's 100% certain hardware issues with the disk. There's no question on that based on the details you posted. The only way to resolve it is to get your data migrated to a new drive.

    Thank you. The host seems only capable of looking at one issue at a time. Their suggestion was turning off error messages.

    Oof - I'm glad you posted here then! If there really are a large amount of errors detected with fsck, just disabling errors could cause data loss when/if the drive eventually failed.
