Not sure why it does this, maybe an error in the robot unmount
proceedure? I had a problem with a bad robot controller card (card in
the robot, not scsi in my server) that was causing it to randomly down
drives as bad even though the drives were fine.
I modified a script a little from David Champa who has some
great stuff up at http://www.xbpadm-commands.com. Cron runs it every 10
mins and checks the drive status. If the drive was was down it'd send a
"here's what our statis is before I try to fix it and what it looks like
after I tried" and would email it to me. Works great.
