Possible causes are bad | termination, | bad cabling, too long cabling, a failing device, incompatible SCSI devices. | If you would provide hardware info we might be able to assist. ahc0: port 0xd800-0xd8ff mem\ 0xf9000000-0xf9000fff irq 11 at device 10.0 on pci0 da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit) da0: 4157MB (8515173 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 530C) | I'm inclined to think it's not a SCSI cabling/termination or any kind of incompatibility issue since the box has been running flawlessly since FreeBSD-3.4 was released (it's now running FreeBSD-4.3 STABLE). Let's say it is a failing device. Is it the SCSI controller (ahc device) or the SCSI disk (da device) giving up on me? Or if that's unclear from the messages how can I find that out before it totally dies?
