Hi,

recently I start getting kernel messages (via demsg or syslog - kern.debug),
that seem to indicate problems with the disks on my 5000/200 with -current.
The messages are of the form:

/netbsd: rz0: No sense data

or

/netbsd: rz1: Illegal request

or

/netbsd: asc_timeout: cmd 0x8019c5d0 drive 0

or similiar on the second drive

/netbsd: asc_timeout: cmd 0x8019c8f0 drive 1

Sometimes a message like

/netbsd: swap_pager_clean: clean of page 6dc000 failed

follows.
I'm afraid the disks are going bad.  My rz0 is a DEC RZ57 (rev 5000),
rz1 is a larger Quantum drive.
Any suggestions? Should I replace the drives?

BTW can I use any new SCSI disk or are there any limitations?

TIA,

Andreas
