Hello I'm making a backup of some disks with dd (disk image) and sata_promise reported these errors: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ata8.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata8.00: cmd c8/00:08:40:83:7a/00:00:00:00:00/e4 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in res 50/00:00:47:83:7a/00:00:00:00:00/e4 Emask 0x1 (device error) ata8.00: configured for UDMA/133 ata8: EH complete sd 7:0:0:0: [sdh] 488397168 512-byte hardware sectors (250059 MB) sd 7:0:0:0: [sdh] Write Protect is off sd 7:0:0:0: [sdh] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 7:0:0:0: [sdh] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA ata5.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata5.00: cmd 25/00:08:e8:af:02/00:00:10:00:00/e0 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in res 50/00:00:ef:af:02/00:00:10:00:00/e0 Emask 0x1 (device error) ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133 ata5: EH complete sd 4:0:0:0: [sde] 488397168 512-byte hardware sectors (250059 MB) sd 4:0:0:0: [sde] Write Protect is off sd 4:0:0:0: [sde] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 4:0:0:0: [sde] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can I ignore them (EH handled them) or do i have to worry that the dd images are corrupted (don't wanna make an md5sum of a 250gb disk and image)?
