dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc

The purpose is with any new disk its good to write to all the blocks and
let the drive to all of the re-mapping before you put 'real' data on it.
Let it crap out or fail before I put my data on it.

better use badblocks. It writes data, then reads it afterwards:
In this example the data is semi random (quicker than /dev/urandom ;)

badblocks -c 10240 -s -w -t random -v /dev/sdc

Will give this a shot and see if I can reproduce the error, thanks.


The badblocks did not do anything; however, when I built a software raid 5 and the performed a dd:

/usr/bin/time dd if=/dev/zero of=fill_disk bs=1M

I saw this somewhere along the way:

Next test, I will turn off NCQ and try to make the problem re-occur.
If anyone else has any thoughts here..?
I ran long smart tests on all 3 disks, they all ran successfully.

Perhaps these drives need to be NCQ BLACKLISTED with the P35 chipset?

Justin.
