I have the following problem. I have a PCI SCSI Controller using the NCR driver to drive seven double-speed CD-ROM drives. Due to dust on the lens or something, sometimes the kernel reports skips, like so: Sep 24 16:00:16 server /kernel: ncr0: timeout ccb=f066d000 (skip) My problem with this is that after a few of these messags, the machine suddenly decides it can't do ANY disk I/O, the main hard disk on an IDE controller included. This presents a problem since files that are used all over the network are stored on that IDE drive, resulting in timeouts galore. Why would timeouts on a SCSI controller stop the IDE drive? The SCSI is on a physically different controller. (IDE is built-iin to the motherboard). Is there anything I can do? I'm using 2.2.2-RELEASE on this machine (am thinking about 2.2-STABLE RSN...)
