Hi...
I am experiencing very strange behaviour from my disk subsystem.
root@ncc2:~ # dmesg
attempt to access beyond end of device
08:04: rw=0, want=78648406, limit=7759395
This happens on different disks, apparently only the large ones.
The want values must be uninitialized data - they are far off from
the partition table sizes.
Partition tables are ok, these disks did run for a long time on another
system w 2.1.120-pre1 (before 120 went bad).
This happens for example when I copy a bunch of files to another disk.
cp: I/O Error
Repeating the command can go fine.
Writing a nearly 2G file to tape:
tar: file shrunk - padding with zeros
then those messages.
The tar case is reproducible resulting in different sector numbers.
I want to track this down - it scares the hell out of me,
so I am reporting it before tomorrow I compile 2.1.120 again to see if
this goes
away and also try 123-prewhatwehavethen with aic7xxx-pre12 and report.
System info:
P2 266, 128M, 2.1.123-pre1 UP, aic7xxxx-pre10 (module), libc-5.4.44
1 x 2940U, 1 x AIC7880, 1 x AIC7890
