Does anybody have an idea what this could mean: > ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen > ata2.00: (BMDMA stat 0x61) > ata2.00: tag 0 cmd 0x35 Emask 0x4 stat 0x40 err 0x0 (timeout) > ata2: port failed to respond (30sec) > ata2: Soft resetting port > ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0x30C7 The disk didn't react any more until I cycled the power. SMART state doesn't admit that anything could amiss. Transient glitch? Major ugliness? For the time being I have not re-added the thing to my RAID, but the three other disks in it are the exact same model... -- Matthias Urlichs | {M:U} IT Design @ m-u-it.de | smurf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Disclaimer: The quote was selected randomly.
