Thanks to Kevin.Sheehan@uniq.com.au for some helpful comments, but
nobody came up with the origin of the "sv_timeout" message...but I
finally did! It's in the *Netware* code, as I found out by doing
a strings on /vmunix, and finding the string in ipx.obj.
So probably what happened is that the Netware file allocation
information became corrupted during one of the system crashes.
I ran "nwfsck" after a reboot, and we've not seen that error
since.
What we're going to do about *that* is to shut down the Netware
service on the machine. There's nothing that Samba can't do that
we need in the way of file services for PCs.
We are still seeing intermittent SCSI problems, however. If anybody
knows any Bad Things about ST32550N 2 gb. SCSI drives on a 4/490,
please let me know!!!
