The general procedure looks like this :
- obtain the SCSI-2 spec. (gatekeeper.dec.com has a copy somewhere)
- Find out what the 'deferred error' message looks like
- look at, and maybe modify the code to emit the block number (if one is
part of the message)
- use some magic tool (fsdb?) to identify which file inhabits that block.
I'm not sure how many of these steps could be short-circuited by someone
more familiar with the SCSI spec than me.
I'm assuming that you set AWRE and ARRE to 1 using scsi(8) already, and
the error message is still appearing?
