One of them is a IBM-spitfire, 1gb fast-scsi-2, connected to my ahc-2940w. When I try to dump(8) this disk it always fails, with a lot of messages logged to the console (log/messages attached). My other 2 scsi- and 3 ide-disks dump(8) with out problems! "dd if=/dev/rsd1a of=/dev/null" and "iozone" run ok, while "tar cf /dev/null /usr2" also fails, when the disk is close-to full. Can anybody help me with this? I can't help, but I can verify another case, we had had exactly the same problem with an ncr PCI controller and ibm 0662 (spittfire). I switched the spittfire to a 4G hawk and the problem went away, so I have thought that it could be a disk firmware problem. FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 with a BT SCSI does not seem to have such trouble with spittfires, though.
