I tried with 20070808. Boot was better, so it seems to have helped. I guess the NCQ fix was relevant for my TB drives but not needed for the 500GB ones. I still got this when the array was built, but it didn't seem to prevent it from being built and from working: ata3.04: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0xff SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen ata3.04: cmd 61/c0:00:7f:94:04/00:00:71:00:00/40 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 98304 out res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata3.04: cmd 61/00:08:3f:95:04/01:00:71:00:00/40 tag 1 cdb 0x0 data 131072 out res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata3.04: cmd 61/08:10:77:94:04/00:00:71:00:00/40 tag 2 cdb 0x0 data 4096 out res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata3.04: cmd 61/90:18:3f:96:04/00:00:71:00:00/40 tag 3 cdb 0x0 data 73728 out res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata3.04: cmd 61/20:20:57:93:04/01:00:71:00:00/40 tag 4 cdb 0x0 data 147456 out res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata3.04: cmd 61/70:28:cf:96:04/00:00:71:00:00/40 tag 5 cdb 0x0 data 57344 out res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata3.04: cmd 61/00:30:3f:97:04/01:00:71:00:00/40 tag 6 cdb 0x0 data 131072 out res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata3.04: cmd 61/20:38:3f:98:04/01:00:71:00:00/40 tag 7 cdb 0x0 data 147456 out res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata3.15: hard resetting link ata3.15: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 0) ata3.00: hard resetting link ata3.00: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata3.01: hard resetting link ata3.01: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata3.02: hard resetting link ata3.02: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata3.03: hard resetting link ata3.03: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata3.04: hard resetting link ata3.04: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata3.05: hard resetting link ata3.05: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata3.01: configured for UDMA/100 ata3.02: configured for UDMA/100 ata3.03: configured for UDMA/100 ata3.04: configured for UDMA/100 ata3: EH complete sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] 1953525168 512-byte hardware sectors (1000205 MB) sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 3:1:0:0: [sdd] 1953525168 512-byte hardware sectors (1000205 MB) sd 3:1:0:0: [sdd] Write Protect is off sd 3:1:0:0: [sdd] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 3:1:0:0: [sdd] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 3:2:0:0: [sde] 1953525168 512-byte hardware sectors (1000205 MB) sd 3:2:0:0: [sde] Write Protect is off sd 3:2:0:0: [sde] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 3:2:0:0: [sde] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 3:3:0:0: [sdf] 1953525168 512-byte hardware sectors (1000205 MB) sd 3:3:0:0: [sdf] Write Protect is off sd 3:3:0:0: [sdf] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 3:3:0:0: [sdf] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 3:4:0:0: [sdg] 1953525168 512-byte hardware sectors (1000205 MB) sd 3:4:0:0: [sdg] Write Protect is off sd 3:4:0:0: [sdg] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 3:4:0:0: [sdg] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] 1953525168 512-byte hardware sectors (1000205 MB) sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 3:1:0:0: [sdd] 1953525168 512-byte hardware sectors (1000205 MB) sd 3:1:0:0: [sdd] Write Protect is off sd 3:1:0:0: [sdd] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 3:1:0:0: [sdd] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 3:2:0:0: [sde] 1953525168 512-byte hardware sectors (1000205 MB) sd 3:2:0:0: [sde] Write Protect is off sd 3:2:0:0: [sde] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 3:2:0:0: [sde] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 3:3:0:0: [sdf] 1953525168 512-byte hardware sectors (1000205 MB) sd 3:3:0:0: [sdf] Write Protect is off sd 3:3:0:0: [sdf] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 3:3:0:0: [sdf] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 3:4:0:0: [sdg] 1953525168 512-byte hardware sectors (1000205 MB) sd 3:4:0:0: [sdg] Write Protect is off sd 3:4:0:0: [sdg] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 3:4:0:0: [sdg] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
