Hi All,

Currently, I notice that there are lot's of errors written in the 
/var/log/messages file.

    2015-08-29T23:58:54.477236+00:00 server-68 kernel: sd 0:0:4:0: [sdc]
    2015-08-29T23:58:54.477255+00:00 server-68 kernel: Result:

Has anyone encountered the same issue before? How can you solve it?

Thanks,
Jevon

Looks like xfs is simply reacting to errors from the storage; I'd try to get
to the bottom of why you're getting all those scsi errors.

But probably not on the xfs list.  :)

"error 5" is EIO.  That's as much as I can tell you from the XFS perspective.

I don't know what the block/scsi errors mean, exactly; it does seem as
if it may not support discard, but it must have advertised that it did, or
the discard would not have been issued in the first place.

You haven't said what kernel or storage you're on.
OTOH, even if you do, it's a scsi/storage issue that the xfs list probably
can't help much with.
