Hmmm. The results:
paert# camcontrol defects -v -n da -u 1 -f block -P
error reading defect list: Input/output error
CAM status is 0
paert# camcontrol defects -v -n da -u 1 -f phys -P 
error reading defect list: Input/output error
CAM status is 0
paert# camcontrol defects -v -n da -u 1 -f bfi -P 
error reading defect list: Input/output error
CAM status is 0

IMHO strange. I get the same for '-G'.

hhm. The i/o ist failing, but camcontrol doesn't print any sense information.

Two questions arise:
    a) Are the IBM drives supposed to deliver the requested error
       information?

    b) I might build a kernel with some CAM-debug options. Would this 
       be helpful.

Thanks,
    Andreas
