- From id(4s):
-
- Conditional Success. Data Retry Performed.
- The addressee has completed the command but data retry
- had to be invoked - for example, a physical re-read.
- Data Retry includes all actions associated with the
- transfer of data.
-
- We see these errors all the time on our IPI drives. I've seen Sun
- documentation that says these are "acceptable" error messages caused by
- the drive being too busy at one point. They're really not anything to
- worry about unless you're seeing a ton of them, or if the number you're
- seeing changes dramatically. In this cause, I think I've seen stuff
- where a dump/newfs/restore of the filesystem calms things down for a
- while.
