3ware 9650SE-24M8 non-critical errors dominating syslog - how to stop/ignore?


Recommended Posts

I'm seeing errors like this in the syslog all the time, I think mostly when the drives are being accessed for something.

I found a handful of other threads and they all seem to say the error is benign - something relating to the kernel trying to access the drives directly for the temperature but the controller doesn't pass through the command.  Temps don't work in the GUI but I can get them via SSH and running the SMART commands manually so that's not huge deal.  I'm not experiencing any negative symptoms other than these annoying error messages in the syslog...depending on what the server is going I could see as much as 40-50 lines of this in the log every 5 minutes which means it's really easy for the noise to obscure any actual important information. 

 

Is there some way to either prevent them from happening in the first place....or to prevent them from showing up in the syslog?

I'm having this same exact problem, did you find a solution?

Negative...my syslog is still being constantly spammed with these errors.  I'm not technical enough to figure out a way to fix this myself.  I doubt LimeTech care enough to devote cycles to add a fix for such an old card, so we will probably just have to live with it.  If you end up finding a solution please let me know! Thanks
