... the difference being that a timeout which causes a super_written failure
seems to return an I/O error whereas the others don't:
ata5.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen
ata5.00: cmd ea/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0
res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
ata5.00: status: { DRDY }
ata5: hard resetting link
ata5: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133
ata5: EH complete
end_request: I/O error, dev sde, sector 1465147272
md: super_written gets error=-5, uptodate=0
raid10: Disk failure on sde3, disabling device.
I wonder what's different about these two timeouts such that one causes an I/O
error and the other just causes a retry after reset? Presumably if the latter
was also just a retry, everything would be (closer to being) fine.
Cheers,
Chris.
