Hello, I just received a DawiControl DC-4300 SATA-2 RAID card (sil3124 based) together with a Western Digital WD3200KS hard drive which should support sata2 and ncq in its full glory. Basic read/write tests with dd went ok, so I started to reshape my raid5 array. Since the reshape started my kernel log gets swamped with the following messages: [4297871.909000] sata_sil24 ata1: resetting controller... [4297871.909000] ata1: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } [4297871.909000] sdc: Current: sense key=0x0 [4297871.909000] ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0 [4297873.266000] ata1: error interrupt on port0 [4297873.266000] stat=0x80000001 irq=0xb60002 cmd_err=35 sstatus=0x123 serror=0x0[4297873.266000] sata_sil24 ata1: resetting controller... [4297873.267000] ata1: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } [4297873.267000] sdc: Current: sense key=0x0 [4297873.267000] ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0 The time between these events varies from .5s to up to 10s, resync speed is pretty bad (6mb/s) but appears(!) to be working. This is with vanilla 2.6.17-rc3, sata drivers built into the kernel. Find below /proc/interrupts and lspci output. Boot dmesg output was washed away by above messages, sorry. What's the cause of the error, can I ignore it or will it destroy my raid eventually? I'm now about 5% through the resync process, with an estimated finish in 1260 minutes.
