http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12120 ------- Comment #5 from anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2008-11-29 11:55 ------- Reply-To: James.Bottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx OK, so there are a few problems. First, by responding OK to the test unit ready (which is illegal under spec) it avoids the spin up the sd driver normally does, so we're relying on the eh allow_restart flag to start the unit on the first failing command. Then, in the failure case: > Nov 29 19:57:06 stein sd 20:0:0:0: [sdd] CDB: Read(10): 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > 08 00 > Nov 29 19:57:06 stein sd 20:0:0:0: [sdd] Sense Key : Not Ready [current] > Nov 29 19:57:06 stein sd 20:0:0:0: [sdd] Add.

I suspect because of our change to no sense return handling. What the drive is probably trying to say is (I'm spinning up) but this gets interpreted as an error because the sense data for this isn't present (because we didn't ask for it). Can you try this patch? It should take the success return of the first spin up and act on it instead of blindly sending another.
