When I am inside a chroot environment (on my IDE hard disk) with proc
mounted on /proc and execute the following script from / (of chroot)
-----------------------
#!/bin/sh
case "z$1" in
z) echo Finding
find . -path "./old-distro" -prune -or -path "./static" -prune -or -
path "./usr/src" -prune -or -type f -exec $0 {} \;
;;
*) strings $1 | grep -q /static || exit 0
echo '*************'$1'****************'
strings $1 | grep -A 3 -B 3 /static
;;
esac
exit 0
----------------------
and then (not concurrently, can be a minute later) access my SCSI hard
disk, I get
sym53c875-0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR1=132 DBC=1e000000 SBCL=26
sym53c875-0: restart (scsi reset).
sym53c875-0: Downloading SCSI SCRIPTS.
When I access my SCSI hard disk first and use the script afterwards (again
there can be some time in between), I get
sym53c875-0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR1=132 DBC=50000000 SBCL=0
sym53c875-0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR1=132 DBC=870b0000 SBCL=0

I can repeat this as often as I want. The errors stop occuring when I
unmount /proc (inside chroot). I can only guess that somehow reading from
/proc (note that I forgot to prune /proc in the find command) causes the
error. Are there some files in /proc that are not safe for reading?
And why does it only occur in chroot?
The error occurs with my normal 2.2.17 kernel and with the 2.4.12-ac3
kernel. I have a Tekram DC 390U SCSI controller.
