(The list is too long to include here) Most of them are mentioned in the SCSI-2 spec. The spec does not explain what disk behavior triggers each message though. Also, a few of the messages in the scsi_all.c code are not defined in the SCSI spec documents that I was able to download. The"Failure Prediction Threshold Exceeded" message is one of the undefined ones. Can anyone let me know what disk behaviour triggers each message? I'm interested in the following 3 messages in particular: - Pheripheral device write fault field replaceable unit - Diagnostic failure: ASCQ=Component ID field replaceable unit - Failure Prediction Threshold Exceeded field replaceable unit thanks, -nisha To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
