Hope your day is better than mine :| here goes. I've recently built a file server using the following: FC2 2.6.10-12 SMP Adaptec 29160 Infortrends A16U-G2421 Array (16x250GB) The RAID box is mapped out as following: 1.5TB SCSI ID: 10 LUN:0 1.5TB SCSI ID: 10 LUN:1 334GB SCSI ID: 10 LUN:2 it's been working fine, but lately i've started getting a lot of really disturbing stuff in my syslog. Ive pasted in a couple of them. But they go for all the lun's.. please, can anyone help me make heads or tails of it?
