I evaulated a Fujitsu M2614SA yesterday and was very impressed with it,
except for one "small" problem. When copying large amounts of data onto
it I would occasionally get the following error message:
esp0: 3.0 data exhaust
Stat=0x10<XZERO>, Intr=0x10<BUS>
Last state='UNKNOWN', Last cmd='dma tran_info'
DMA addr=0xfff04588, last=0xfff02588;Dma CSR=0x8000000
sd0: SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset': retrying command
If you have any ideas I'd appreciate hearing them - I'm dying to purchase
several of these drives for my SparcStations - but this error leaves me a
little queasy (needless to say). For those of you who haven't heard about
this drive - it's a 3.5inch Synch/Asynch 180M drive. It mounts directly
into the sparcstation and holds quite a bit more than the drive that sun
is currently selling (Fujitsu = 180M vs Sun's Drive = 105M).
