Hi,
Recently I'm experiencing strange sata errors on my desktop system.
The system was recently equipped with three 250 GB SATA drives from
three different manufacturers and I'm having an identical problem on
two of them. The drives are connected to two on-board controllers on
an Asus A8V board, which were both running with Linux for more than
two years with older SATA disks without problems. A hardware failure
seems unlikely to me as the same error occurrs on two brand new disks
from two different manufacturers. I'm running a vanilla 2.6.23.12
kernel.
Errror on sdc happened about 10 times tonight, each time I could hear
the disk spin down and up again, while the system was frozen for
several seconds:
ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x180000 action 0x2 frozen

In the log I also found several identical errors on one other drive:
ata5.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen

sd 4:0:0:0: [sdc] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't

Can this be the result of a hardware failure? I've seen several
drives being added to an NCQ blacklist during the last weeks. Is it
possible that my drives need to be added here, too? Or have I just
two failing drives?
Thanks a lot for any clues,
Jim
