Hi Neil,
When I do
badblocks -s -v /dev/sdc
I hear clicking sounds from the hard drive, and notice lots and lots of log messages such as:
ata3: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x90200 action 0xe frozen
ata3: irq_stat 0x00400000, PHY RDY changed
ata3: SError: { Persist PHYRdyChg 10B8B }
ata3: hard resetting link
ata3: softreset failed (device not ready)
ata3: applying SB600 PMP SRST workaround and retrying
ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310)
ata3.00: configured for UDMA/33
ata3: EH complete
So I assume that the clicking corresponds to the hard reset, but I'm not certain of that. Initially, I thought it might be some kind of disk head problems. Note that smart reports no bad blocks.
Regards,
Gavin
