I see two choices: 1. Move swap to the IDE. 2. Continue to diagnose the problem. Generally speaking, I'd choose option 1 and get on with more interesting amusements, but YMMV. If you select curtain number 2, try to see if swap activity has any correlation with the DPE messages. vmstat may be a useful here. You could also boot the system so it isn't using SCSI drive for swap. Then try doing something which exercises the HD, maybe badblocks, and see if any DPE messages appear. rna On Sat, 2004-08-28 at 05:26, Michael Havens wrote: > The SCSI is SWAP. > > On Friday 27 August 2004 11:33 pm, Robert Ambrose wrote: > > No great mystery about the SCSI HA numbering... > > > > FWIW, your SCSI HD is 1GB and is giving you aggravation.
