I have 2 sets of 5 drives being a PMP.
- 2.6.36.0 kernel
- sata_sil24 card
- Port Multiplier 1.1, 0x1095:0x3726 r23, 6 ports, feat 0x1/0x9
All 10 are outputting errors on a schedule after being queried by some Smart tool
(I have hddtemp and smartmontools at least).
Error is:
ata10.02: failed command: SMART
ata10.02: cmd b0/d8:00:00:4f:c2/00:00:00:00:00/00 tag 0
res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
ata10.02: status: { DRDY }
I think it's due to a script that I wrote that uses hdparm -y to spin
drives down after an idle period (because at least 5 of my drives, WDC
WD20EADS, have stupid green firmware that prevents auto spindowns with
hdparm -S).
My swdisksusp script is at:
http://marc.merlins.org/perso/linux/post_2010-08-03_Spinning-Down-WD20EADS-Drives-and-Fixing-Load-Cycle.html
Anyway, the problem happens with both drives that I manually spin down and
drives that spin down on their own. I think it's not actually a 'real',
error but more an issue where drives cannot answer some SMART error when
they are spun down.
That said, is it normal/expected for the PMP code to do a full bus reset
because of a SMART command that couldn't go through?
Thanks,
Marc
