Failing SCSI disk? Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Lately I've been getting the following messages during my nightly cvsup runs, and the cvsup process crashes and burns. I haven't had this occur during anything except cvsup, but cvsup tends to exercise the disks A LOT. (so does the nightly security/daily check run, but that hasn't crashed either... odd.) Of course, then again, I haven't built a new kernel or made world recently. ----- spec_getpages:(#da/0x20010) I/O read failure: (error=22) bp 0xc418ad28 vp 0xcb9d3700 size: 1024, resid: 1024, a_count: 1010, valid: 0x0 nread: 0, reqpage: 0, pindex: 0, pcount: 1 vm_fault: pager read error, pid 3865 (cvsup) pid 3865 (cvsup), uid 600: exited on signal 6 (core dumped) ----- Does this mean one of my swap partitions is going bad? If so, which one? (I have three SCSI disks: da0, da1, and da2) The "bp" number changes (but not by much), whereas the "vp" number is always the same in all of my error messages, as is the "#da", "size", "resid", "a_count", "valid", "nread", "reqpage", "pindex", and "pcount" numbers. Can anyone help me diagnose what's going on here, so that I know which SCSI disk to yank out and replace?
