Hi,

One of our machines started hanging (or crashing) occasionally.
This is the message that was printed out to the serial console just
before the disk array (ccd of 13 disks) locked up.

===
(da8:ahc0:0:8:0): WRITE(10). CDB: 2a 0 0 cc a7 9f 0 0 30 0 
(da8:ahc0:0:8:0): ABORTED COMMAND asc:47,0
(da8:ahc0:0:8:0): SCSI parity error
(da1:ahc0:0:1:0): parity error during Data-In phase.
===

I could still log in to the machine, but any process (bash) that did
anything with the array will lock up.

Also, this is what was on the console before the machine hung before.
(It was a hard hang, needed a reset.)

It does seem to come back up after a reboot/power cycle and work fine
for a while (a few days to a week) though.

So, two questions.  I assume the SCSI parity error means bus integrity
problems (enclosure went bad or something)?  Also, if it's going to
come back after a reboot, can it be done without actual rebooting?
(Like sending a bus reset....under no cases have we actually
power-cycled the disk enclosures.)
