One particular bug made a seek miss a catastrophic event. Oh, and whatever sector you were shooting for would be corrupted too. Unfortunately I don't know exactly which models and firmware revisions were affected. Anyway, I did find reference to one situation that could potentially cause corruption of the controller's per-transaction data area when running the 7892/99 on a 66MHz pci bus. The latest version of the driver (referenced in another piece of email) avoids that issue and may fix this problem. If it doesn't, I'll order up a SM 370DL3 (or find one in our test lab) and see if I can determine what is going wrong on that board. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
