Hello all,
I had problems with some old disks at a new machine altough they worked fine
for years now. I got a lot of emails - thanks to all how replied, most of
you told me thier expierences with differnet cabels and so on (btw. I
switched the cable without any success).
Seems as I got the solution from Luchini, Marco
[Marco.Luchini_at_acco-uk.co.uk]. He how had similar problems, but he
expierenced a coherence between old disks and newer 4.0x releases. He
suggested to disable disk_spindown to avoid it. I did so with "sysconfig -r
pwrmgr disk_spindown=0" and I added a section in /etc/sysconfigtab:
pwrmgr:
disk_spindown=0
The machine runs fine for more than 24hours now without any disk error, so I
keep my fingers cross! Thank you all!
best regards Dirk
