I've been noticing something strange on an AMD Geode LX board that I
have.. I have two SATA drives connected to the onboard Sil3114 chip,
and the drives appear to be continually restarting (soft resetting?)
during normal operation when nothing at all is happening on the
machine. You can hear the drives doing it as well as feel it
physically if you touch the drive. They are spinning down and back up
again over and over again. All the while the OS never prints out any
ata/scsi problems. The only manifestation of this in the kernel is
that if you're doing something w/ the drives, it pauses momentarily
while this happens (for instance, during an ext3 format).
I thought this might be a bad drive because smartctl listed some
errors, but I have a stack of drives here and after swapping out the
drive doing this, the replacement is doing it as well. These drives
are all new 1TB Hitachi drives less than 6 months old. Now, I'm
wondering if this is some Sil3114 problem w/ libata. Has anyone else
seen this type of behavior before with no errors showing up in the
console?
Thanks,
-Andrew
