Hi,
Yesterday, I happened to look at the error log for one of our old machines
-- a PW 433au running 4.0C.  Although we have not been aware of any disk
problems, the uerf command shows MANY SCSI disk errors over the last year
-- 1 to 2 error reports per day on the average.  The output at the bottom
shows two typical entries.  Sometimes these types of entries appear
together as a pair, and sometimes one type of entry will appear several
times by itself or along with the other type.
What's going on?  Although we seem to be experiencing no problems from
this, I'm a little hestiant to just let it go...
Thanks,
