Hello all,

I’m at my wits end trying to resolve this. We are running centos 4.5 on Intel hardware. Dual SCSI disk drives mirrored on an LSI Logic controller.

Every once in a while and not always on the same server and not only on the local SCSI Drives.

System A – Dual internal drives on /dev/sda

System B – Dual internal drives on /dev/sdc with a DAS on /dev/sda.

Each of these systems experienced a kernel mptbase error and placed /dev/sda into read only mode. Note again the /dev/sda isn’t always local.

For system A – remounting in ro mode didn’t work and the system had to be rebooted. File system check and bad block checks showed nothing and when the system was rebooted – it was fine.

A portion of the messages log is below. I would appreciate any ideas or directions.

Thanks,

 Steve Moccio
