Hey guys... from my syslog:
May 22 17:05:28 biznatch kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 5591, scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 Read (10) 00 00 61 01 11 00 00 80 00

May 22 17:05:29 biznatch kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 5591) timed out - resetting
May 22 17:05:29 biznatch kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
May 22 17:05:30 biznatch kernel: (scsi0:0:2:0) Synchronous at 10.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15.
Can anyone who knows more about SCSI tell me what can cause a command
timeout, etc... Do I need a terminator or something? I thought my
configuration was right, since I can transfer hundreds of megabytes
between errors. Can a problem with terminator configuration even be that
subtle? (Forgive a SCSI newbie!)
So, the error resolves itself in 7 seconds, and no data is lost, so maybe
I don't care. ;) Really, the problem is that it muddies up the console
when it happens, and I have to press ^a l.
The system is a decade-old experimental dual Pentium-133 running 2.2.21
SMP, with an onboard AIC-7870 (with a BIOS that says "EVALUATION VERSION.
DO NOT DISTRIBUTE.") and a 4GB Western Digital Enterprise that someone
told me was dead. Heh... okay that sounds pretty bad.
So, I guess only pay attention to the terminator question. ;)
Thanks.
-Chuck
