Basically stary by looking at the log and see whether there are reports
of SCSI errors, bus resets, retries, that sort of thing. There may be
indications in the log of exactly what types of problems are being detected.
In this event, the type of SCSI host adapter could also make a
difference. Could you give me the name and model number of the card you are
using?
