lbolt message ???

Chris Fadrowski — Mon, 10 Feb 2003 17:05:38 GMT

Can someone tell me how to find out what this error message is? I am trying to locate the component it's complaining about.

Feb 5 09:54:17 hostname vmunix: SCSI: Request Timeout; Abort -- lbolt: 8697923, dev: cd000040, io_id: 1cfcd

bad cd or disk drive, needs to be replaced.

If you hot swapped something into the machine the lbolt will clear after boot.

Hi Chris:

The format of the device information is:

MMBBTLFF

where values are in hex:

MM=Major number
BB=Bus
T=Target
L=Lun
FF=Flags

Hence, the device is c0t0d0 with a minor number of 0xcd or decimal 205. If you look in the '/dev' directory, you will note that the major number of 205 should be a tape device.

that means a io operation was not completed in given period.

dev-cd000040

do
printf "%d\n" 0xcd
this will give character code(this is most probably 205) ie tape device.

lsdev -c "output of printf command"

1 Check connections of tape drive, also check if you have connected anything other than tape device on the same bus.
Check for loose connections,connectors etc.

2 Check if you have up to date SCSI patches.

thanks for the imput. But how did you get the number "0xcd" from cd000040?

Hi (again) Chris:

First, everything is in hexadecimal digits. Second, the device's major number is coded as the first two digits, or here, "cd". To emphasize this, I represented it explicitly as "0xcd" which is 205 in decimal.
