Hard drive partitions unmounting by it self

Message

New system 2006.1. Everything working fine. All drives mounted on boot, no errors. After a while several of my partition mounts disappear. The dev entries all all there and I can remount them with the mount command without a problem. It's like something just unmounted them. "/" is ok, "/usr/portage" gets unmounted and "/mnt/hdd1" gets unmounted. So it's not just a specific hard drive, it all of them.

/etc/fstab

Code: Select all

/dev/hda1       /boot           ext3            noatime         0 2
/dev/hda2       /               ext3            noatime         0 1
/dev/hda5       /usr/portage    ext3            noatime         0 2
/dev/hda6       /var            ext3            noatime         0 2
/dev/hda7       none            swap            sw              0 0

/dev/hdc1       /mnt/hdc1       reiserfs        noatime         0 2
/dev/hdd1       /mnt/hdd1       reiserfs        noatime         0 2

#none           /dev/shm        tmpfs           defaults                0 0
proc            /proc           proc            defaults                0 0
shm             /dev/shm        tmpfs           nodev,nosuid,noexec     0 0

Nothing in dmesg and /var/log/messages about unmounting partitions. Anyone seen this before?

Do you have smartmontools? Does smartctl say anything about them?

My first question is which kernel are you running?

I had a similar situation last fall and a minor kernel update resolved it for me.

Tried a different kernel, linux-2.6.13.17 does the same thing. So it's not kernel specific.
