I had been having some trouble on the SCSI chain on a small server. I finally isolated one of the HDDs (after swapping SCSI cards, changing the cables, checking connections and terminators). I thought the drive was "fixed" by mapping out some bad sectors once I ran diagnostics on the drive from BIOS on the SCSI card. But after two days of adequate performance from the drive I got, Jan 13 21:40:47 backmail /kernel: (da4:aha0:0:6:0): Invalidating pack Jan 13 21:40:48 backmail /kernel: (da4:aha0:0:6:0): Invalidating pack Jan 13 21:40:48 backmail /kernel: (da4:aha0:0:6:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x4a, scsi status == 0x0 Then when I tried to access the drive a while later, # /sbin/disklabel -r da4 Jan 13 22:19:18 backmail /kernel: (da4:aha0:0:6:0): CCB 0xc26f0284 - timed out Jan 13 22:19:18 backmail /kernel: aha0: ahadone - Attempt to free non-active ACCB 0xc26f0564 And now it's just, # /sbin/disklabel -r da4 disklabel: /dev/rda4c: Device not configured Is this disk a total loss? And do those messages say for sure that my problems are on this disk (the earlier problems would seem to start with any of the devices on the chain, HDDs and CDROMs which is why I first suspected the card and then connections)? Thanks for any help or pointers to some introductory docs on how to read those types of messages. -- Crist J.
