Hi,

First please, sorry my english.
We have a customer running SCO Openserver 5.0.4. He has a tape Panther
Mini 4600 model TDC 3720 to backup his datas.

Several times system hang when it's doing backup (cpio format) and it
show following message in console:

Warning: swapseg - SWAP read error 5 on swapdev hd (1/41)

Any idea what is the problem?

Thanks.

It's a disk error on the swap division, 1/41. That's on the same disk
as the root filesystem. The root disk is dying. You should check
cabling and termination. If that's OK, the drive itself must be
replaced.
