00:0d.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20518/ PDC40518 (SATAII 150 TX4) (rev 02) I have a raid5 with 3 disks in and have started so see some weired problems.First I thought it was the disk since it was always the same but after changing the disk I now have the same problems but another disk so I'm starting to suspect a driver issue. The only disk I have in the system is connected to this pci card and the problem is always with the disk named sda regardless if it is connected to the first sata port or the second and first is empty. I have switch power cables and sata cables around but problem is not moving from sda. problem seen on kernel version vmlinuz-2.6.35,vmlinuz-2.6.33.3. was running vmlinuz-2.6.28.7 for about a year before that without any problem. Now it took about two month before sda got kicked out of the raid on 2.6.33.3 but 2.6.35 have not lasted more than a few days. ------------------------------------------- Aug 15 20:27:22 amd kernel: [171585.020040] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x180000 action 0x6 frozen Aug 15 20:29:15 amd kernel: [171585.020080] ata1: SError: { 10B8B Dispar } Aug 15 20:29:15 amd kernel: [171585.020100] ata1.00: failed command: WRITE DMA EXT Aug 15 20:29:15 amd kernel: [171585.020125] ata1.00: cmd 35/00:f8:3f:bb:a1/00:03:73:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 520192 out Aug 15 20:29:15 amd kernel: [171585.020127] res 40/00:01:00:4f:c2/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
The controller's reporting errors on the SATA link. I would still tend to suspect some kind of hardware issue - maybe that port connector is bad on the card or something? I would be surprised if a driver fault could cause this to be reported spuriously.
