Mr Garzik Hello ata errors are some times cryptic. I am refering to this line, in the ata_qc_timeout which holds lots of information. printk(KERN_ERR "ata%u: command 0x%x timeout, stat 0x%x host_stat 0x%x\n", ap->id, qc->tf.command, drv_stat, host_stat) These errors varries , and many times SMART cannot help. Is there a repository for these error codes, ( ata_dump_status isn't enough ). Is there an API to get these error codes translated to human readable format ? thank you -- Raz - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
