As Gabor suggested, I watched UDMA_CRC_Error_Count and it slowly grows only on this particular drive. And here is another recent exception for the same drive, which is somewhat strange looking: Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] ata3.00: exception Emask 0x40 SAct 0x3f SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] ata3.00: irq_stat 0x00060002, PRB not on qword boundary Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] ata3.00: cmd 60/08:00:27:32:f3/00:00:2c:00:00/40 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] res 50/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x40 (internal error) Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] ata3.00: cmd 60/08:08:6f:32:f3/00:00:2c:00:00/40 tag 1 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] res 50/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x40 (internal error) Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] ata3.00: cmd 60/08:10:67:32:f3/00:00:2c:00:00/40 tag 2 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] res 50/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x40 (internal error) Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] ata3.00: cmd 60/08:18:37:32:f3/00:00:2c:00:00/40 tag 3 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] res 50/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x40 (internal error) Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] ata3.00: cmd 60/08:20:47:32:f3/00:00:2c:00:00/40 tag 4 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] res 50/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x40 (internal error) Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] ata3.00: cmd 60/10:28:77:32:f3/00:00:2c:00:00/40 tag 5 cdb 0x0 data 8192 in Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] res 50/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x40 (internal error) Mar 19 22:24:29 [kernel] ata3: hard resetting port Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] ata3: EH pending after completion, repeating EH (cnt=4) Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] ata3: exception Emask 0x2 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] ata3: irq_stat 0x00060002, protocol mismatch Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] ata3: soft resetting port Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] ata3: EH complete Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] 976773168 512-byte hardware sectors (500108 MB) Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] 976773168 512-byte hardware sectors (500108 MB) Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 Mar 19 22:24:31 [kernel] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA Any ieas what this might be? I'll definitely try to replace the cable and see what happens.
