https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208782 ------- Comment #31 from kern@sibbald.com 2006-10-08 02:29 MST ------- Update: I wanted to load the 10.2 rc5 kernel to verify with the same binaries that it does not show the problem, but apparently running my disks with ext2 was a bad idea, because after running my program with your test kernel on the 6th (comment #30), the disks were seriously damaged, even with manual fsck repairing *thousands* of errors could not get them back in shape. Result, a system that will not boot properly. Conclusion: this bug is more critical than I realized. I now must re-install, so I will re-install with 10.2 rc5 (or whatever is currently available), and test to ensure this problem is gone as is the case on my development machine. I suspect that if you compare the changes from your test kernel to the 2.6.18-rc5-git6-2-bigsmp kernel, and focus on what returns EBUSY, you will find or get close to the problem. ===== Possible new problem with kernel 2.6.18-rc5-git6-2-bigsmp: I am now occassionally seeing the following error output from mtx when operating my autochangers on two different systems running 2.6.18-rc5-git6-2-bigsmp. This problem has never occurred before. Unloading Data Transfer Element into Storage Element 1...mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes mtx: Request Sense: Valid Residual=no mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=70 (Current) mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=Illegal Request mtx: Request Sense: FileMark=no mtx: Request Sense: EOM=no mtx: Request Sense: ILI=no mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Code = 53 mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Qualifier = 02 mtx: Request Sense: BPV=no mtx: Request Sense: Error in CDB=no mtx: Request Sense: SKSV=no MOVE MEDIUM from Element Address 1 to 2 Failed Not being a SCSI guy, I have little idea what the above means, but I can assure you I wasn't requesting a MOVE MEDIUM but rather an unload. If this occurred on one system only, I could imagine it was an autochanger failure, but the fact that it occurs on two systems and only *after* installing the 10.2 kernel, I am suspicious. I can correct this condition only in powering down the autochanger AND rebooting the machine. Do you have any suggestions what I should do? (i.e. a new bug report, some way to get more info). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
