Over the last three days, when I try to access the drives, after a couple minutes I get a drive failure (I even heard a "yelp" from the drive during one of them...). But the "failure" has happened to 3 of the 8 drives over 3 days -- so unless there is a hardware problem that is killing my drives I find it hard to believe that 3 drives really and truly failed.... Here is a sample from my syslog of a failure: 3w-xxxx: tw_interrupt(): Bad response, status = 0xc7, flags = 0x51, unit = 0x1. 3w-xxxx: tw_scsi_eh_reset(): Reset succeeded for card 1. 3w-xxxx: tw_interrupt(): Bad response, status = 0xc7, flags = 0x51, unit = 0x1. scsi: device set offline - not ready or command retry failed after host reset: host 1 channel 0 id 1 lun 0 SCSI disk error : host 1 channel 0 id 1 lun 0 return code = 80000 I/O error: dev 08:11, sector 158441712 I've noticed several "issues" with the 3ware cards in the archives. Has anyone seen something like this? Scott PS: I'm currently running 2.4.7 with the lm-sensors/i2c patches. -- Scott M.
