I am getting a lot of kernel errors of that type:
hde: lost interrupt
on one of my servers. (This is actually CentOS, not Fedora.) The errors
are intermittent, but when they start they often will just keep coming,
and the disk has locked up a couple times completely.
Something presumably needs to be replaced, but the question is: What?
The drive is a 500GB EIDE drive, connected via a Promise Ultra 100TX2
controller to some ancient motherboard. (This is a 300MHz Pentium II,
acting as a server, including a media server.) The controller is needed
because the old mobo bios won't deal with such large drives. There's
another drive connected to the Promise, as hdf, and I'm not seeing
errors from there. So, all in all, it looks as if it's probably the
drive, even though the drive is less than a year old. But before I
replace it, I thought I'd ask and see if anyone has any other ideas.
It'll be a hassle to replace it, since it's part of a volume group, etc.
Thanks,
Richard Heck
