Hi.  We've just put a brand-new SCSI disk on one of our systems.  Earlier
this evening, the kernel started giving us *huge* numbers of scsi errors for
that disk (scsi id 4).

Here's the first batch:

May 15 18:13:44 lancaster kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 146060, scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 0x28 00 00 3b 9f 2a 00 00 90 00 
May 15 18:13:44 lancaster kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 146061, scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 0x28 00 00 3b 9f ba 00 00 42 00 
May 15 18:13:45 lancaster kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 146060) timed out - resetting
May 15 18:13:45 lancaster kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
May 15 18:14:35 lancaster kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 147298, scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 0x2a 00 00 2d 70 5a 00 00 02 00 
May 15 18:14:35 lancaster kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 147299, scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 0x28 00 00 2e b6 6e 00 00 90 00 
May 15 18:14:35 lancaster kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 147300, scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 0x28 00 00 2e b6 fe 00 00 42 00 
May 15 18:14:40 lancaster kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 147298) timed out - resetting
May 15 18:14:40 lancaster kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.

They stopped here, and started again around 20:30, with the same symptoms:
several `aborting command due to timeout' messages, followed by `scsi host 0
abort timed out', followed by `scsi bus is being reset'.  The pattern was
repeated at irregular intervals eighteen times over the next three hours or
so. At one point, the `bus is being reset' message was followed by a
different error:

May 15 20:40:39 lancaster kernel: (scsi0:-1:-1:-1) Command complete near Qfull count, qoutcnt = 15.

Some system details: kernel 2.0.33, Adaptec 2940 scsi card.  The drive in
question is a Quantum Fireball SE 8.4GB.

Can anyone give us any pointers as to what's going on here?  What do the
error messages mean?

Regards.
