Hi,

Anyone know what

Apr 20 00:37:05 flopsy /kernel: sd1(aha0:6:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:a86c2 csi:3,ce,
1,f asc:11,43  field replaceable unit: 15 sks:80,40

means when they trun up in /var/log/messages? They seem to be quite a few 
of them (each time they occur the retry number goes down until it reaches 
failure as you see above).

Thanks,

Andrew
