[BUGS] SCSI hardware failure?

[Tong Wang]

Hi everyone,

I've got this error on SCSI on one of the FreeBSD6.2 servers from dmesg:

Copied 32 bytes of sense data offset 12: 0x70 0x0 0x1 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 
0x18 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x5d 0x2 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 
0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0x0 0x0
(da0:ahd1:0:0:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 0 1 f5 4 3b 0 0 4 0
(da0:ahd1:0:0:0): CAM Status: SCSI Status Error
(da0:ahd1:0:0:0): SCSI Status: Check Condition
(da0:ahd1:0:0:0): RECOVERED ERROR asc:5d,2
(da0:ahd1:0:0:0): Reserved ASC/ASCQ pair
(da0:ahd1:0:0:0): No Recovery Action Needed

I've had this for quite a while and it's repeating, since it says "No 
Recovery Action Needed", nothing much has been done. Until recently, I 
found that AMANDA is not able to send daily check emails from amcheck, 
amverify etc, so I checked the server again, using mail to trying to 
send an email from the AMANDA account, and got the following error:

mail: /tmp/mail.Rsi6mQUtTJ52: Permission denied

more to it, upon finishing, amverify also has this permission denied error.

I also noticed that i can't run finger on any account, same permission 
denied error happens, even using root account.

To sum it up, this server is having all sorts of strange behaviors which 
I'm guessing are from the SCSI error, but I'm not sure what exactly is 
going on with it. I've worked with FreeBSD for not too long, so some 
help would be greatly greatly appreciated! :)

Thanks in advance!

Tong
