Recently, our Sun 3/260 crashed because of a power outage. When it came
back up, we had disk read errors in our root partition. I used diag to
tell the system about the bad sectors, and restored the lost data from my
backup tapes. When I rebooted, ths workstation came up with no further
problems. I figured everything is cool now, right? Well, today, almost a
week later, I shutdown and rebooted, and got the message:
xy0a: read retry (disk sequencer error) -- blk #495, abs blk #495
Is this a serious disk problem that I should worry about? The system
seems to be working well. What is a disk sequencer error? Would diag
have to be used to fix this problem? Any help, and or advice would be
most greatly appreciated. I wouldn't want to have to spend half the day
recovering data again. Thanks in advance!
