A long timeout doesn't harm fast-starting disks. When the scsi_start_unit() times out, the disks are not recognized properly, so a reboot is required. >How-To-Repeat: Get an old disk, and jumper it not to spinup at poweron! >Fix: Increase the timeout in /sys/scsi/scsi_base.c *** scsi_base.c Tue Jul 29 21:42:50 1997 --- scsi_base.c.NE Sun Mar 15 23:42:06 1998 *************** *** 335,341 **** 0, 0, 2, ! 10000, NULL, flags)); } --- 335,341 ---- 0, 0, 2, ! 30000, /* XXX leifn@image.dk: Timeout changed from 10 secs */ NULL, flags)); } >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
