Re: [Wlug] SCSI reset error

That looks a lot like the messages I got from a drive that was about to die. In my case, timeouts got more and more frequent, then the drive started making rattling-grinding sounds and then quit working at all. At the time I was not happy to lose the drive, but in retrospect I appreciate the warning. Because it took a few days to totally die, I was able to copy the essential data from it to a new place. I strongly suggest that you not turn on this machine except to do back ups. Save your files! > Do I need a terminator or something? Could be.

Heh... okay that sounds pretty bad. Reports of its death may have been premature, but don't count on a long reprieve. After it is backed up you can play with terminators and configurations. -- -- Keith Wright <kwright(a)free-comp-shop.com> Programmer in Chief, Free Computer Shop <http://www.free-comp-shop.com> --- Food, Shelter, Source code. ---

Re: [Wlug] SCSI reset error

by Lee Keyser-Allen

Well considering the hardware, I'm impressed that you've got it cooking at all. As far as termination goes, there's really only one place to check. It sounds to me like you've got a single scsi device on that chain. Since the AIC 78xx auto terminate their end by default, that shouldn't be a problem, so all you have to do is double check that the drive itself is either properly set up to terminate the chain or that there is a terminator after it. You can also play with the powered termination if that drive supports it, but I honestly have never been able to figure out when that is necesary, and when it isn't. Just as an FYI ... I had the exact same problem with my 386 back in the day, where it would just freak out every so often. After moving that drive off of the wimpy little trantor card that it was on, and putting it in a real case (with better cooling) I never recieved the errors again. So to sum up. Check to make sure the drive is staying cool. Check to make sure the drive is terminated. Play with termination power to see if it makes that problem go away. And when all else fails, say f**k it, and just live with the random log messages. Hope that helps a little.
