Disk Dropped offline in PE2850

F4 is only a timeout. I nearly all cases, driver and Firmware Update
will fix it for the future.

Check also the disk FW.

Subject: Disk Dropped offline in PE2850

 

This is more of a general question rather than linux specific.

 

A disk dropped offline this morning in a RAID5 array. Machine is running
rhel4u6. The dedicated hotspare did NOT kick back in.

 

There is no sense key errors in the controller logs, no predictive fails
or SMART errors. Log says disk was removed and then 5 seconds later
reinserted. 

 

The only thing I can find in the controller log is:

 

fail_reason=f4, channel=0, target=3

 

Its obviously the right disk, 0:3. What does fail_reason=f4 mean does
anyone know?
