Hello Managers

I have an E450 with disk problems. The machine has 4x18GB SCSI disks in a
hot-swappable SCSI rack.

iostat -E reports 4 transport errors on sd3 and now there are also 'No device'
hard errors appearing two of the other drives: sd0 and sd2. Is it likely that
the transport errors on the one disk have caused the 'No device' errors on the
other disk, or have I got a bigger problem than just one disk down?

The machine is no-longer on maintenance (as of 18 July!) and curiously enough
Sun replaced sd3 under maintenance a couple of days before that.
