Is the message "cd0(aha0:6:0): soft error (corrected), info=1234(decimal)"
cause for worry? I get about 40 of these messages if I do:
dd if=/dev/cd0 of=/dev/null bs=102400
The CDROM is otherwise fine. Is this a problem with the media, the drive
or the driver? The media is brand new and has no visible defects. The drive
is a SUN SCSI drive. The controller is an Adaptec 1542B.
