Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk [Nik: CC'd to freebsd-questions for amusement value, and in the hope that if you can't help me, someone can - my brain has died] Well, it's a bit of a long shot but you might be able to help. I recently upgraded one of our machines from 2.2.2-RELEASE to 2.2.5-RELEASE and since then I've been getting strange errors which cause the machine to hang up, viz: ncr0: timeout ccb=f0d12400 (skip) ncr0: timeout ccb=f0d12800 (skip) Power cycling / resetting the machine appears to be the only way of getting out of this. I also get (intermittently) 'COMMAND FAILED' errors on sd0 or sd1 (more commonly sd1) immediately prior to this. Most commonly these errors occur when accessing particular partitions, which leads me to believe there are some problems with the disks themselves rather than the controller card; additionally, the problem persists despite testing the machine with another (identical) controller card. So, my questions: _is_ it a problem with the disks? (should I be looking for replacements?) or is there something else I've missed?
