What Do These error messages mean?

[Joe Giles]

I recvieve these errors in messages. About the same time, I notice corrupted files
(PHP WEB FILES). No other file types seem to get corrupted (havent checked all the
files obviously)

Any Help would be great

Thanks

Joe

They mean you have significant file system errors.

I recommend that you unmount it and run e2fsck -f

Any idea what would cause this to happen in the first place?

I use a RAID 1(Stripping) setup. I have 5 9.1 gig scsi drives.

Thanks

It is usually related to I/O errors (check your logs from prior to the
corruption). These of course can be related to a vast multitude of things.
Though most frequently (in my experience) related to hardware or drivers.
