Given that the last one was a hardware issue, I bought a new controller.
Despite my bad luck, given my price-range promise still seemed to be the one
with the most good reports, so I went with that. I was going to go with a
sil, but I couldn't find one..
Anyway, things are MUCH better now... but about once a week, I get:
ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
ata2.00: (port_status 0x00001000)
ata2.00: cmd c8/00:80:9a:71:d0/00:00:00:00:00/ea tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 65536 in
res 40/00:00:06:4f:c2/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x24 (host bus error)
ata2: soft resetting port
ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
ata2.00: configured for UDMA/133
ata2: EH complete
SCSI device sda: 312581808 512-byte hdwr sectors (160042 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00
SCSI device sda: write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support
DPO or FUA
It's the same port_status and Emask/SAct/SErr/action each time... only the
cmd/res and data change (obviously those would change)...
Can anyone tell me what that means?
