I have an IBM xSeries with an IBM ServeRAID controller running openSUSE 10.1. Previously, for years, this server ran SuSE 9.2 and was absolutely ROCK solid. a lot changed, also the driver, as you can (now) see it is now capable to fetch this special case
"it is now capable to fetch this special case" I have no idea what this statement means. What "special case". The changelog of the driver doesn't indicate much has changed, looking at the ips.c & ips.h files in the kernel source of my 10.2 box.
errors, but no drive ever goes offline. It really seems to be a problem with the logical drive. ipssend says: Controller type : ServeRAID-3L Actual BIOS version : 7.12.02 Firmware version : 6.10.24 Boot block version : 3.00.21 Device driver version : 7.12.05 And there are four active drives, and one hot spare. Each report as active with no PFA. The status of the logical drive is "Okay" But dmesg is full of: sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x70000 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 4319748 sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x70000 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 4319748 I guess you still googled for the SCSI error code and what it stands for?
Of course; but there isn't much out there or the signal:noise ratio on such searches is just way to high. I've found people asking similar questions but most the answers are clearly nonsense (people who don't know what a logical drive is, asking him to try different kinds of cables [these aren't ATA drives!], etc...) Someone thought it was the smartd monitoring program haunting the logical drive somehow, but I don't have smartd installed.
sda is the logical drive # uname -a Linux cfsgroup 2.6.16.27-0.9-smp #1 SMP Tue Feb 13 09:35:18 UTC 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Anyone have *ANY* suggestions? If it's possible try 10.2 or 10.3 Alpha, just for working on the latest and greatest Kernel-tree.
I'll see if that is feasible. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
