I run a small data server with about 9 drives attached. Every so often, one of them will just ... drop offline, with no warning. I can remount it, run fsck, and it recovers the journal and mounts again, until the next time. There's no pattern to it either. I took several of them out and attached them to a separate power supply and it still happened. Is this likely to be a sata controller issue, or a kernel issue? I don't have the money to be replacing a bunch of components at once, hoping to throw something at the wall and see what sticks. Thoughts?
