SubjectRe: [SCSI REGRESSION] 3.10.2 or 3.10.3: arcmsr failure at bootup / early userspace transition
Date
On 29 Jul 2013, Bernd Schubert spake thusly:

spindle:/boot# sg_opcodes -v -n /dev/sda

(sdb is the same, obviously, since they are both separate RAID volumes
controlled by the same controller.)

Not very helpful, I know :(

I'll try rebooting into a kernel with that commit reverted next.

Areca controllers appear to be a bit weird: e.g. they needed special
support in smartctl...

I could set one up, in theory, but the problem is that all my machines
are rather dependent on my NFS-mounted $HOME. Guess where it's mounted
from... in any case, the machine has no serial port, so it would have to
be a usb-serial console, and we know exactly how reliable those are :/
