-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
When I came in this evening, I found a bunch of messages referring to command timeouts. The system seems to have recovered fine this time, but a few weeks ago I had a situation where I got a bunch of write errors that somehow propagated to the point of making the entire 4G drive unusable. What was even weirder was that I got similar errors when I tried to restore from tape; after doing a hard reformat, though, things seemed to be fine until tonight. (I'm sorry I don't have a record of the messages - they got destroyed along with the rest.)
The one thing I could correlate was that I was trying to copy a lot of files (~300 megs, several hundred) from one partition to another on the drive by using a tar pipe. I now have only two partitions on the drive: data and swap.
Here's the system: Linux 2.0.24, Debian 1.1, Pentium Pro 200 Mhz, Buslogic BT-958, with the following attached:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: MICROP Model: 3243-19 1128RLAV Rev: RLAV Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: CD-ROM XM-5401TA Rev: 3605 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: C1533A Rev: 9503 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00 Vendor: iomega Model: jaz 1GB Rev: H.71 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
The Jaz drive is external, and is connected by a slightly weird cable (had to go from a wide SCSI connector to a regular SCSI-2 connector), but I don't think it is a cabling problem, primarily because my initial failed restore occured after the Jaz drive was detached. Of course, I could be wrong.
Whatever the problem is, it is very intermittent. Maybe this is a hardware/cabling problem; but then again, has anyone else seen behavior like this?
