Re: [Veritas-bu] Linux slowly dropping drives.
Interesting - I never
thought of tpclean.
tpclean shows two in "need cleaning" status but, as
I have one drive
down now, there's no correlation with the down
drive.
lto2 are scsi drives connected via fc through fiber
bridges.
I've had this problem through multiple version of this OS but
it's the
only Linux media server in my environment. (We're using the
native lto2
drive, too - supposed to be part of this
OS).

After I collect a half-dozen down drives, I reboot the

What
does tpclean -L say?
Have they ever stayed up in the past?
Do
you have a fiber switched
environment?
