Okey, let's see if I can interpret without my books (which are at work). Byte two of your Sense Data is the Sense Key (0x02, Not Ready). Sense Code and Qualifier of 40 and 85 is Diagnostic Failure (40) on component 85 (presumably something in your disk, that part's vendor specific). I'd recommend backing up any useful data you've got and running whatever diagnostics you might have for the disk; it looks like it's hardware. (useful data is in the Linux SCSI-Programming HOWTO, but it won't tell you much more than what I did) -- Michael Vieths Foeclan at Winternet.Com On Tue, 15 May 2001 andy at theasis.com wrote: > > Any interesting information in dmesg? > > Ack!
