hda4 is a physical partition on the disk on which I've installed FC2. Once I 
login and run fsck manually, it reports the same thing ... that is, there is a 
error writing block 522 (Attempt to write block from filesystem resulted in 
short write) Ignore[y]?

However, dom0 does not report any error ...

Thanks.
