Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello- I'm running a heavily used (~10-40 simultaneous users) NFS/smb/email server on which I recently installed a new SCSI HD (Atlas V 18GB). The system is a PIII 450, 256MB RAM, 2940U2W SCSI controller, running kernel v2.4.8 (but I've also tried older kernels as well) using the new aic7xxx driver, the fs is ext2. What I'm seeing is SCSI "sense key hardware Errors" on the new HD during tape backups (HPC1554 DDS-3 drive) scheduled at night (when the system is unused): SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 1 lun 0 return code = 8000002 Info fld=0x214a55b, Current sd08:11: sense key Hardware Error I/O error: dev 08:11, sector 34907416 Sounds like bad HD, right? Well, I've seen bad SCSI disks before, and this seems different. These messages *only* appear during tape backups, but not during the day when the machine is under *heavy* I/O load to that HD. It is *only* when the DAT tape gets involved that I see these messages. I should also say that files that correspond to the affected sectors in the error messages are fine, they are not corrupted. Suggestions? What can I do to track this down?
