I am wondering if there is a method of reviewing device probe info after a
machine has been booted for some time ? I am running NetBSD/i386 V2.0.2 on
all machines but on my amanda tape server I have a large number of:
st0(ahc1:0:5:0): Check Condition on CDB: 0x00 00 00 00 00 00
SENSE KEY: Not Ready
ASC/ASCQ: Medium Not Present
ch0(ahc1:0:5:1): Check Condition on CDB: 0x00 20 00 00 00 00
SENSE KEY: Unit Attention
ASC/ASCQ: Import Or Export Element Accessed
messages which happen during normal operation of the tape changer. This
overflows the "msgbuf" buffer space and then I can no longer see the probe
info. Is there any way to "poke" the kernel and ask it for that info ? I
just received a notification from HP of a FW upgrade required and I want to
check if my SCSI controller is below rev.
I guess this is only really a "problem" because I never have to reboot my
NetBSD boxes :-)
Thanks
