after moving my fake worm kenfs there appears to be a problem with the main disk. (the fs kernel doesn't even get to probing the other disks)
the last succesful boot told me the disk is a Thu Dec 8 15:29:58: scsi#0.0: QUANTUM XP34550S LXQ1184630312388 as far a I could find the '40 83' means: DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE ON COMPONENT NN (80h-FFh) but I could not find more details. I still have to try to run some diagnostic program (scsimax(?)) just curious if anybody instantly recognizes the code. related question (that is here under the wrong heading, but ok) assuming a kenfs file server with config filsys main cp(w0)0.50f(w5w1) now assuming I lost only the w0, but the w5w1 making up the fake worm are still there, am I right in assuming that the correct procedure to resurrect the fs would be: - get a new disk to replace w0 (no problem if it differs from the original?) - boot the fs kernel - enter config mode - in config mode enter the usual stuff, as when initializing the fs as explained in the fsconfig man page, EXCEPT - where the examples say 'ream main' do 'recover main' right? These are the boot messages I get (thanks to consolefs) Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: sysinit Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: config w0 Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: devinit w0 Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: scsi#0.0: unavailable, status 2 Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: drive w0: Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: 8890759 blocks at 512 bytes each Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: 1111345 logical blocks at 4096 bytes each Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: 8 multiplier Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: scsi#0.0: reqsense: 'not ready' code #40 #83 Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: scsi#0.0: byte 2: #02, bytes 15-17: #00 #00 #00 Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: lastcmd (6): #00 #00 #00 #00 #00 #00 Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: scsi#0.0: unavailable, status 2 Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: scsi#0.0: reqsense: 'hardware error' code #40 #83 Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: scsi#0.0: byte 2: #04, bytes 15-17: #00 #00 #00 Tue Oct 3 15:19:37: lastcmd (10): #28 #00 #00 #00 #00 #00 #00 #00 #08 #00 [this repeats for a while until it gives up:] Tue Oct 3 15:19:39: wrenread: w0(0) bad status 0002 Tue Oct 3 15:19:39: stack trace of 2 [stack trace omitted] Tue Oct 3 15:19:40: 1220 stack used out of 16000 Tue Oct 3 15:19:40: Tue Oct 3 15:19:40: panic: config io Axel.
