Hello (Neil), This may or may not be related to the same main error I found a reference to on the ML archives from November 2011 (kernel BUG at drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c:1153). Again, this is a 3.2.20 kernel, now with the Raid10 recovery bug patch, but I don't see how this could be related. The full initial dump, as far as it was logged is here: http://pastebin.com/wFX5yew2 But the juicy bits are these: --- Jun 29 05:06:42 borg03b kernel: [231632.877579] sd 8:0:5:0: [sdj] Unhandled sense code Jun 29 05:06:42 borg03b kernel: [231632.877583] sd 8:0:5:0: [sdj] Result: hostbyte=invalid driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE Jun 29 05:06:42 borg03b kernel: [231632.877586] sd 8:0:5:0: [sdj] Sense Key : Medium Error [current] Jun 29 05:06:42 borg03b kernel: [231632.877590] Info fld=0x904ff8b8 Jun 29 05:06:42 borg03b kernel: [231632.877591] sd 8:0:5:0: [sdj] Add.
