Thank you for your help. I just looked at my exact kernel version :
   2.6.26-2-xen-amd64
It is Lenny:
   ~# lsb_release -a
   No LSB modules are available.
   Distributor ID:      Debian
   Description: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.2 (lenny)
   Release:     5.0.2
   Codename:    lenny

I'll try your test but I don't know when because this server is in prod for the moment. Maybe that WE.

Thank you,

I know RAID don't guarantee there is no errors.

My two others physical machines that hosts each a Xen domain controller are
not the same hardware at all but the same OS (Debian Lenny 64 bits). They
don't have these errors and never crashed.

You think I should try another kernel more up-to-date?

One thing to confirm first. Is hda the first disk? AFAIK Lenny should
come kernel 2.6.26, and newer kernels use sda instead of hda.

If it is the first disk, I'd start with picking a live CD/DVD of a
distro with recent kernel. Ubuntu Lucid would do. Boot it, and do
something like

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=16M

... which basically reads all the disk contents. See whether it can
complete without errors. If yes, then I'd try to compile newer kernel
for this server. Possibly 2.6.29 or 2.6.31 (since 2.6.32 needs Xen 4.0
to run correctly). If it shows read errors though, you'd know for sure
that it's hardware problem.
