So, These error are still cropping up on some of my machines. After upgrading the drive firmware and disabling SMART, some of my machines are stable (and no longer generate the SCB timeout error). I am still having problems on a few of the machines though, and I have a new piece of data. It seems that when they hang they are generating 'swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device ...' messages. I noticed that fixing swap_pager warnings are on the to-do list for 6.1 release. I have not seen any bug reports that give more detail on what exactly the problem is. Does anyone have any more info on this? Is there an experimental patch I can try? I suspect that the swap_pager problem is not the _only_ problem, but it might be what is causing the remaining machines to hang. Thanks. - Rob Watt On Wed, 8 Mar 2006, Justin T.
