The bus is terminated correctly and with 2 m external cable to my scsi case it also shouldn't be to long. When I try to copy data from a harddisk to the other I get weired I/O erros after some time of heavy I/O. On the console I get something like: cp: /mnt/redhat/kernel23/linux/arch/sparc/lib/COPYING.LIB: Input/output error And dmesg shows: attempt to access beyond end of device 08:03: rw=0, want=959546428, limit=1888830 attempt to access beyond end of device 08:03: rw=0, want=958585434, limit=1888830 attempt to access beyond end of device 08:03: rw=0, want=959546428, limit=1888830 attempt to access beyond end of device 08:03: rw=0, want=958585434, limit=1888830 attempt to access beyond end of device 08:03: rw=0, want=941858675, limit=1888830 Ususally the system is pretty unstable after these messages. Also I'm getting a message sc1,2,0: cmd=0x12 timeout after 2 sec. Resetting SCSI bus every time I restart my Indigo2 on the serial console - does anyone know what that means and if it's a problem ? Further more it happens that after heavy I/O a simple "sync" needs more than one minute. Has anyone seen the same or equal problems in any way and/ was able to resolve these ?
