Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi all: I was untaring a large tar file with many files in it and suddenly my Seagate SCSI harddrive froze. This showed up on my console: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0) Invalid pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0) Invalid pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0) SCB 0x23 - timed out while idle, SEQADDR == 0xc (da0:ahc0:0:0:0) Queing a BDR SCB (da0:ahc0:0:0:0) no longer in timeout, status = 34a (da0:ahc0:0:0:0) Invalid pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0) Invalid pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0) Invalid pack ... What happened here? It screwed up my /usr partition where I was untaring the files (good thing fsck could restore it). I can't afford to have a drive stole like this and corrupt filesystems when I put this box online. What could've caused this failure? I'm running freebsd 4.1-Release. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Simon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
