Okay: I have a small NAS device attached to my home LAN which I've
been using to keep a large (~300GB) of data files on, but which is near
its storage limit. So I've been trying to set up LVM (for the first
time) on my 10.0 system, to create a larger archive to copy the data
files to. The LVM creation process went well, as far as I can tell, and
I ordered an rsync job to duplicate the original archive to the new,
expanded one.
But after about 36GB of copying, something incredibly weird happened:
my original archive vanished from the mount list, and the rsync job
stopped with a string of "no such file/directory" errors. I mean, it
just *vanished* -- stopped showing up at all when I did a df. Konq
started reporting "this directory/file no longer appears to be present"
when I tried to navigate to it. And this is on a machine that *no one*
else has access to, so I can 99% guarantee there was no human intervention.
Even stranger: I couldn't remount the NAS drive for some reason,
although using its HTTP access I was able to confirm that it was fine.
Eventually, I just gave up and rebooted. And now, this (I should note
that my NAS is normally mounted to /archives, and the LVM volume to
/archives2):


Can you access some debug info on the NAS through the HTTP interface?
