So this didn't help, today I got:
whimsy.med.utah.edu /sstore/gen6 lev 2 FAILED [dumper returned FAILED]
clarity.med.utah.edu /sstore/gen10 lev 0 FAILED [data timeout]
clarity.med.utah.edu /sstore/gen10 lev 0 FAILED [dumper returned FAILED]
whimsy.med.utah.edu /sstore/gen6 lev 2 FAILED [too many dumper retry:
"[request failed: timeout waiting for REP]"]
whimsy.med.utah.edu /sstore/gen6 lev 2 FAILED [cannot read header: got
0 instead of 32768]
clarity.med.utah.edu /sstore/gen10 lev 0 FAILED [cannot read header: got
0 instead of 32768]
clarity.med.utah.edu /sstore/gen10 lev 0 FAILED [too many dumper retry:
"[request failed: timeout waiting for REP]"]
serenity.med.utah.edu /sstore/9gb lev 1 FAILED [data timeout]
serenity.med.utah.edu /sstore/9gb lev 1 FAILED [dumper returned FAILED]
serenity.med.utah.edu /sstore/9gb lev 1 FAILED [cannot read header: got
0 instead of 32768]
serenity.med.utah.edu /sstore/9gb lev 1 FAILED [too many dumper retry:
"[request failed: timeout waiting for REP]"]
i.e., problems with all the file systems on this drive. I have my
timeouts set to:
etimeout 100000
dtimeout 3600
ctimeout 60
Should I increase them? Which one? Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Steve
