Hello, I'm using MPT-Fusion driver (linux-2.6.16.x) with LSI 53C1030 on SPI. I recognized, that removing a scsi-drive (connected with SCA) did not remove it from linux scsi subsystem. The physically removed drive was still listed in /proc/scsi/scsi: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00 Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAP3367NC Rev: 0108 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 On access via cfdisk /dev/sdd the following error messages occured in syslog: mptbase: ioc0: IOCStatus(0x0043): SCSI Device Not There sd 0:0:4:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x10000 end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 0 Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 0 mptbase: ioc0: IOCStatus(0x0043): SCSI Device Not There sd 0:0:4:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x10000 end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 4 Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 1 mptbase: ioc0: IOCStatus(0x0043): SCSI Device Not There sd 0:0:4:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x10000 end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 8 Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 2 mptbase: ioc0: IOCStatus(0x0043): SCSI Device Not There sd 0:0:4:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x10000 end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 0 Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 0 mptbase: ioc0: IOCStatus(0x0043): SCSI Device Not There sd 0:0:4:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x10000 end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 12 Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 3 mptbase: ioc0: IOCStatus(0x0043): SCSI Device Not There sd 0:0:4:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x10000 end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 4 Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 1 mptbase: ioc0: IOCStatus(0x0043): SCSI Device Not There sd 0:0:4:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x10000 end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 16 Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 4 mptbase: ioc0: IOCStatus(0x0043): SCSI Device Not There sd 0:0:4:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x10000 end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 20 Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 5 mptbase: ioc0: IOCStatus(0x0043): SCSI Device Not There sd 0:0:4:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x10000 end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 24 Any suggestions about that?
