bad hard disk on sunfire x2100 running cent os x64?
I am having issues with a new server and just wanted to verify the problem is with the hard disk.
It is a Sun Microsystems SunFire x2100. It is running Cent OS x64. It has two 500 GB SATA-II hard disks.
The problem I get is that after a while, nothing responds. I attempt to shut down, and it spews a bunch of errors saying that the file system is in read only mode.
Upon reboot, I get messages such as:
buffer i/o error on device dm-0 logical block 0
command 0xca, timeout stat 0xd0 host stat 0x21
ATA 1 translated ata stat/err 0x51/84 to scsi sk/asc/ascq 0x6/47
I reboot and it'll work fine again for a while. I have removed the drives and plugged them back in and it doesn't seem to do anything. Am I correct in assuming I have a bad hard disk? or is it something else?
thanks

Oh there are always the tools from the manufactorer too. Perhaps you can run them from the ultimate bootcd, not sure if it supports SATA. www.ultimatebootcd.com
