Hi everybody !

I am interested in your comments on DEC/EMULEX DISK related error handling from
both a software as well as a hardware perspective.

I have RD53s, RD54s, RA82s, RA92s and EMULEX SD890 and 892s. We often
times receive "SMALL DISK" and "BAD BLOCK REPLACEMENT" errors. I would
like to gain an in depth understanding of the activities that are 
performed by the software and the hardware to determine that a BLOCK is bad
and then to perform the resultant revectoring.

I understand that bad blocks are tracked in different ways for NON-DSA (BADBLK)
vs DSA (Replacement and Caching Table RCT) devices. And that there are two
types of replacement (Host or Controller initiated). However, I would like
more detail...

Any comments are appreciated. Also, any pointers to detailed documentation on
this subject would be helpful.

Thanks NETTERS!
