Hey ,
You can check your hd status using the following commands on the command prompt
root#> hdparm -t <filesystem>
eg : /dev/sda1 , /dev/hda1
root#> dumpe2fs <filesystem>

Google for hdsentinel.
Alternatively you can install the 'smarmontools' package and run 'smartctl -a /dev/sda1'.█ NiX API - A powerful Anti-Proxy/Anti-Fraud and IP Reputation Lookup API

Also are the servers 100% identical ?
ie Firewall / network port speed.
Thanks

If the drive is smart compatible then use smartctl
smartctl -a /dev/hda
smartd...

Hello,
I really thinks you don't have to run FSCK for that messages. Did you check the logs today?" Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. "

You may not believe it but I have seen this problem before it was due to a server crashing and an FSCK fixed the issue. It may not always be the fix but when it happened to me the drive needed an FSCK of course it may have not been the exact same problem even though the errors are similar. There is a lot of discussions on the web about similar issues.
