    A Red Hat Linux system I have crashed and upon reboot it said fsck had
    encountered problems so I had to manually run fsck and fix the errors on
    /dev/hda7.

    I did that and typed "y" to a few inode errors. When done at the end there
    was a message "exited with signal 11". Rebooting doesn't work and the same
    thing would occur again, with the exact same inode errors, making me think
    nothing was fixed.

    Running fsck on the other partitions resulted in success. Only hda7 had
    this problem. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

      ... If these reasons are good ones then the correct way to really handle this would be to do regular background scrubbing during runtime; ideally with metadata checksums so that you can actually detect all corruption. ... Leave some extra space in your LVM volume group (enough for 1 snapshot over the time it takes to do an FSCK). ... If it succeeds you can adjust the "last checked" date to the time when the snapshot was taken and if it fails you can schedule an FSCK at next reboot. ...
