Hi Rodney (et. al.):
Seagate replaced the 4GB Hawk with a repaired 4GB Barracuda but I seem to
have a problem after Solaris 2.4 (without any patches) has been running for a
while but not doing anything. I suppose the nfsd is scanning the disk once per
night but other than that it's wasn't doing much. It seems to get in a state
where some SCSI reads are taking a few seconds. I shutdown openwin (took about
5 mins) and then ran format and scan'ed the disk. It was stopping at some sectors
for as long as perhaps 20 seconds and then moving on. I can hear the drive makeing
a lot of noise, kind of like the Hawk before it died. I suppose it's time to back
up the drive, I fear this is going to require my replacing the drive yet again.
For years I haven't had any trouble with my Micropolus 1.7GB and 1GB drives. My
experience with the Seagate is leading me to believe I should avoid Seagate in
the future. The drive is very well cooled, so it's not a heat problem.
Any thoughts?
