But still during os booting i'm getting the following error. SCSI device sdc:409601 512-byte hdwr sectors (21MB) sdc:write Protect is off SCSI device sdc:drivr cache: write through w/ FUA SCSI device sdc:409601 512-byte hdwr sectors (21MB) sdc:write Protect is off SCSI device sdc:drivr cache: write through w/ FUA sd 5:0:0:31: Attached scsi disk sdc sd 5:0:0:31: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 40 Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 5 Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 6 Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 7 Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 8 Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 9 Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 10 Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 11 Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 12 Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 13 Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 14 Here "sdc" is the access lun(ghost lun) which is a write protected lun used for managing inbound communication between host & storage.I want to remove this error/Kernel should n't check this lun/blacklist this Lun or will make the access lun 31 not appear as a SD devices it will only show as a SG devices so that this message will not appear during OS booting Pls suggest. Thanks in Advance... Swastik Das IM:+91-9007000384 </body> </html>
