Thanks to John Mitchell, Tony Bourke, Ed Alexander and Doug Winter all of whom responded saying that I almost certainly have physical disk issues that will not resolve themselves, although I might be lucky and just have a loose cable. other comments of note: Tony Walsh "It does look like you have a failing disk. But (depending upon how much risk you want to take) you do seem to have a mirrored root disk and therefore could remove the offending dirve and boot off the good one while you wait for the replacement. I would advise that you separate the bad drive from the 'good' drive sooner rather than later as you might eventually get bad data mirrored to the 'good' drive if it keeps on erroring like you are seeing. This will need you to shutdown the machine, remove target 0, and roboot off the alternate boot drive." Kai-Thorsten Hambrecht "sometimes this may occur when you use a non-SUN hdd, which is not capable of fast/wide/synchronous transfers. Maybe you want to look at this: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=finfodoc%2F2104&zone_32=scsi-options%3D0x58 http://www.cse.ogi.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?isp+7 http://software.oit.pdx.edu/cgi-bin/hman-sec?ManSection=7d&ManTopic=symhisl" I'm looking into this last point now. Whatever happens it looks like I'll be rebuilding that machine. best regards -- Darren Beale _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Aug 12 14:15:25 2002
