About four years ago, on FreeBSD 4.2 or 4.3, I saw a similar problem. The actual message was a bit different (and I don't recall it exactly), and sometimes the machine continued to run, sometimes not. It turned out that, in the 2U box we were designing, we had the SCSI cable folded and twisted too tightly, and two of the connectors were a few cm. too close. (We had either four or six drives in this box.) We were lucky enough to be able to get one of the FreeBSD SCSI driver's authors to look things over, and after a couple of days with the box he decided that there really was a problem in hardware and taught us about the care and feeding of SCSI cables. Part of the solution was shortening a long run of the cable that forced us to fold it. (The lab prototype was built with an off-the-shelf cable.) Mark Terribile __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I solve the problem (after many time) by to remove the SCSI terminator on the array (where I put the hot-plug disk). Hope this help.

I hope this is a good place to send this. While the drives and controller are SATA, the driver is the SCSI aac driver for the adaptec raid, hence this group. I would appreciate any attempts to help me understand what is going on. I have flashed the latest BIOS and Firmware into the card and upgraded FBSD to 5.2.1-RELEASE and it still has this problem suddenly. Rebooting, etc have no effect. I would appreciate being directly cc: ed on any replies, as I am subscribed to -questions but not -scsi thanks I rarely read the freebsd-questions@ list, but you are welcome to email me directly with aac driver questions.
