We have four NEC 2362 (850 Megabytes) disks coupled on Ciprico Rimfire 3200 controlers on our Suns 3/[12]60. We currently run the release 1.14 of the rf3200 driver for Suns. All four disks got the same problem, one after each other, in an interval of three or four months : there are more and more bad blocks on the disk (ECC correction failed). I tried to rewrite the bad blocks. This helped sometimes, but usually only fixed the problem for a short period of time (a few hours or so). At this stage, it's unpossible to reformat the disk : the verification always fails and the disk has to be changed. I know that NEC had a problem on the beginning of last year with 2363 drives (1.1 gigabytes), but do someone know if the same kind of problem also affected the 2362 series ? Thanks for your help. -- Roland Dirlewanger E-mail: rd@lri.fr Universite Paris Sud rd@lri.UUCP Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique RD@FRLRI61.BITNET Batiment 490 Phone: +33 (1) 69 41 64 01 91405 Orsay Cedex - France
