If the disc gives medium errors then sometimes it reboots rather than just logging them. I'm not sure but this might have been only when I turned on AWRE and ARRE (?). We've got a 2940UW with a 4GB Barracuda as sd0 and a Microp 9GB 1991 as sd1 (both Narrow non-ultra); as I'd previously said the 1991 had some media errors and thats when I hit the problem. Neither of the discs are critical discs to the FreeBSD box; I can imagine problems if they were the root discs (theyre not - theyre on an IDE) - they are exported via NFS. Another problem I've experienced which I'm not sure if its related to the SCSI code is that if I newfs a partition on the 9GB Microp its incredibly slow; and slows the machine to the point where it can't NFS serve. Also sometimes the act of newfs'ing a partition will cause the machine to hang solid part way through (last time with the IDE drive light on). There was nothing in the logs.
