Re: Invalid page header

Robert,

Unfortunatelly yes, that error is suposed to be related with
hardware problems. In my case, a forced reindex sorted the problem for
a while.

smartmontools
badblocks
memtest86

Those are the tools I've used time ago to get the results for bad hardware.

Best wishes,
g.-
