I've got an IPC with a Fujitsu 330 Meg drive in place of the original. Lately
it's been spewing forth errors like these:

Jun  6 10:33:19 SHA vmunix: sd0h:   Error for command 'write'
Jun  6 10:33:19 SHA vmunix: sd0h:   Error Level: Fatal
Jun  6 10:33:19 SHA vmunix: sd0h:   Block 28256, Absolute Block: 278639
Jun  6 10:33:19 SHA vmunix: sd0h:   Sense Key: Media Error
Jun  6 10:33:19 SHA vmunix: sd0h:   Vendor 'FUJITSU' error code: 0x10

The partition changes around as do the block numbers, but the rest of the
messages stay the same.
Anybody had these symptoms before? I would guess that it's not the disk
surface going bad but rather the controller or the SCSI cable or some such,
due to the fact that it's reporting errors from all over the disk. Right?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW I can't do a lot of "swap this and
that" testing because the beastie is in a remote location (the U.A.E. to be
exact, and here I am stuck in Switzerland, darn :-)) and the "system manager"
down there never saw a workstation before this baby was installed. So if you
can answer me a sure thing I'll be eternally grateful.

The disk is the only thing that's not original Sun equipment. It's running
SunOS 4.1.1, no patches. Standalone, no network.

Thanks tons,
