Error in the filesystem with Conner CFP 1060S

Applicable to
S.u.S.E. version: all

Symptom:

You have a SCSI system with a Conner CFP 1060S hard disk. Errors are announced during either the creation or the checking of the filesystem. Maybe you could install it, but now your filesystem is destroyed.

Cause:

The CFP 1060S has a firmware bug in the read-ahead and the write-cache routines. Several firmware versions are concerned. They are:
9WA1.62, 9WA1.66, 9WA1.68
You will find these numbers on a label on your Conner hard disk's bottom side. ONLY THESE VERSIONS ARE CONCERNED!

Solution:

The only solution is a firmware's update. This takes place on a bootdisk under DOS.

Please refer to Seagate http://www.seagate.com, that has fussionated with Conner in 1996, to get an update. Due to copyright reasons, we cannot unfortunately transmit this on.

You will find an archive with the bugfix to be unpacked under DOS in
http://www.relcom.ru:8091/pub/msdos/hardware/hdd/scsi/barunix.exe

Please proceed exactly as described in the update description!

The update procedure for several SCSI controllers (Adaptec, Buslogic,...) is described in the README files, but unfortunately not for NCR controllers.

However, one of our employees has successfully done the update with an NCR53C810.

Important!

Please notice, that we are not held responsible for any damage to your hardware or software installation, when you perform the update.
