More problems ... As reported I have 4x WD5000YS (Caviar RE2 500 GB) in a md RAID5 array. I've been benchmarking and otherwise testing the new array these last few days, and apart from the fact that the md doesn't shut down properly I've had no problems. Today I wanted to finally copy some data over, but I after 5sec I got: [...] ata2: port reset, p_is 8000000 is 2 pis 0 cmd 44017 tf d0 ss 123 se 0 ata2: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } sdc: Current: sense key: No Sense Additional sense: No additional sense information ata2: handling error/timeout ata2: port reset, p_is 0 is 0 pis 0 cmd 44017 tf 150 ss 123 se 0 ata2: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } ata2: error=0x01 { AddrMarkNotFound } sdc: Current: sense key: No Sense Additional sense: No additional sense information [repeat] All processes accessing the array hang and can't even be killed by kill -9, but md does not mark the disk as failed. I then tested all four disks individually in another box -- according to WD's drive diagnostic they're fine. Re-created the array on the disks, which worked for a few hours, now I get the same error again. :( Kernel is 2.6.17-1-686 (Debian testing). I could go back to 16, but 15 is missing a CIFS change I need. Any help is appreciated.
