Spontaneous access to the CDROM on two computers simultaneously

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Spontaneously and for no apparent reason, two computers displayed the following message in their logs several times at the same time:

[55419.446442] Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 0
[55419.447381] hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } [55419.447386] hda: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
[55419.447389] ide: failed opcode was: unknown
[55419.447391] end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 0

These two amd64-based computers are running kernel 2.6.16.1 with drbd-0.7.19. (drbd is a network RAID module; it sends data from one computer to the other continuously, but to its own /dev/drbdx devices.)

hda is the CDROM drive, so it appears that both computers all on their own volition attempted to access their CDROM drive for no reason at and the same time, nonetheless. Since neither of them has a CDROM in the drive at the time, I think this error makes sense if something internally caused a real attempt to do that.

One computer is running a variety of file sharing services (netatalk, samba, apache, mysql). Both of them are running heartbeat and drbd, and those programs should account for the only communication between two computers at the time of the messages, so I'm guessing that because of that, drbd could at least theoretically triggered this somehow.
