I was having problems with my server freezing at night when I do a rsync of my main hard drive to my backup hard drive. So after doing some messing around with it, it seems there is something wrong with the backup hard drive. It is a Western Digital 120gb with 8mb cache. I ran reiserfsck --check on it and it said there were some errors, and I needed to run --rebuild-tree but it alwasy freezes when doing this step. Nothing shows up in the message log, except I get a " [kernel] attempt to access beyond end of device", when the --rebuild-tree starts, but a little while before the freeze. Any help debugging this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks,
CP

I've had a fair share of troubles with bigger (80+ GB) Western Digital drives, and ended up getting rid of them and buying Seagate instead. Never looked back.
Try to run a media forensics software on it.
