Happens quite often after a configuration change on a SCSI bus. The drive started complaining before any changes were made, I suppose the cable could have gone bad (length, termination, power etc should be ok), but... When does lvm create /dev/sdb1 (I only used /dev/sdb)? The thing that I find fishy about the hardware problem idea is that (1) vgck did not see anything wrong before the reboot and (2) I went through the exercise twice (outlined earlier) and got the _same_ I/O error upon reboot. Supporting evidence for (non-drive) hardware issues is of course that now my new sdb drive appears effected in addition to sdc which reported media failures earlier. I really appreciate the help, btw, /Allan -- Allan M. Wind email: allanwind mediaone net P.O. Box 2022 finger: awind digit-safe dyndns org (GPG/PGP) Woburn, MA 01888-0022 USA
