I have seen this error twice now:

Adapter 1 Channel 1 Target 2: Sense Data: errCode=0x71 valBit=1
segMent=0x00 SenseKey=4 ILI=0 EOM=0 FMRK=0 Address=0x00005A8E
ASL=0xA cmdSpec=0x0000 ASC=0x0C ASCQ=0x00 FRUC Code + Sense Key
Specific=0x8001

I have an LSILogic Megaraid SCSI 320-1, running RAID level5, 4 disks, and
the OS is RedHat8.0.

What I would like, is to be able to understand these messages.
In particular I need to know if there is a hardware error which means that
I can contact the retailer, in confidence, and ask for a replacement, as
the disk is still under warranty.
Any pointers at FAQs or READMEs greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,

Ross
