From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.1-0.1.9 i686) I have a pc with a sym53c8xx scsi controler. Every second sym53c8xx activates the disk, which is very noisy. Here is the output of /var/log/messages: Mar 13 16:54:01 faerith kernel: sym53c875-0-<6,0>: sync msgout: 1-3-1-c-10. Mar 13 16:54:01 faerith kernel: sym53c875-0-<6,0>: sync msg in: 1-3-1-c-10.

Whats wrong here? Are sym53c8xx and ncr53c8xx the same or should i use the ncr53c8xx driver? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install wolverine on a pc with sym53c8xx scsi controler 2. Reboot the pc 3. After some minutes the driver wrotes every second in /var/log/messages Actual Results: see description Expected Results: That there are no regulary lookups on disk.
Is magicdev running?
Hello. I have stpped magicdev and the regulary lookup on disk stopped. Thanks Wolfgang
I notice this bugzilla entry is resolved. I am having the same problem with Kernel 2.4.2-2 that shipped with Red Hat 7.1. The sym53c8xx module constantly prints out the following entries: Apr 25 22:01:06 ganja kernel: sym53c876-1-<2,0>: sync msgout: 1-3-1-0-0. Apr 25 22:01:06 ganja kernel: sym53c876-1-<2,0>: sync msg in: 1-3-1-1e-0. Apr 25 22:01:06 ganja kernel: sym53c876-1-<2,0>: sync: per=0 scntl3=0x0 scntl4=0x0 ofs=0 fak=7 chg=0. Stopping magicdev does indeed make the problem go away. However, this does not appear to be a good resolution. magicdev is intended to be used by people is it not? This is happening on a system with a LSI Logic SYM22801 board (53c876 dual channel). Since this bugzilla entry was opened against 7.1, I figured I'd attach a note to this one instead of opening a new entry. If I should be using a new entry please let me know.
