Seagate Barracudas are NOT recommended. Can you do a "smartctl -x" and
see if SCT/ERC is supported? I haven't got a datasheet for the 1GB
version, but I've got the 3GB version and it doesn't support it. That
means you WILL suffer from the timeout problem ...
(Not that that's your problem here, but there's no point tempting fate.
I know Seagate say "suitable for desktop raid", but the experts on this
list wouldn't agree ...)
SCT supported, but SCT/ERC not. GREAT! Hm and the replacement is also a Seagate.
My new drives are Seagate Ironwolf, which are supposedly fine. I still
haven't managed to boot the system - it's been sat for ages with an
assembly problem I haven't solved - I hope it's something as simple as
needs a bios update, but I can't do that ...
However another of my servers also has Seagates like the one I'm buying and it
that ERC is supported. So maybe I should buy one more such drive and also
replace sdb?
Depends. If you run the script on the timeout problem page it "fixes"
the problem. The only downside is that if you have a disk error, you've
just set your timeout to three minutes, so the system could freeze for
near enough that time. Not nice for the user, but at least the system
will be okay. A proper ERC drive can be set to return with an error very
quickly - the default is 7 secs.
Here are the results of the command on the problem drive:
smartctl -x /dev/sda | grep SCT
SCT capabilities: (0x3085) SCT Status supported.

Typical Barracuda :-(
