Hi there, my hd shows some weird behaviour. Here you can read the full story if you want to.

It's an IBM-HD. I ran IBM Drive Fitness Test (Advanced) and it didn't show any errors. When I try this command:

Code:

badblocks -s /dev/hdd6

it hangs. Nothing happens but a blinking cursor for about 15 min, then it runs (very slowly). The logs show some lines like:

Code:

Mar 15 10:16:14 [kernel] hdd: lost interrupt
Mar 15 10:14:44 [kernel] hdd: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x60

When I throttle down the hd with:

Code:

hdparm -X64 /dev/hdd

badblocks runs smoothly (no errors). BTW: Badblocks with -c leads to

Code:

root [~] # badblocks -sc /dev/hdd6
badblocks: bad simultaneous block count - /dev/hdd6

PS: I boot the kernel with "noapic nolapic" options. Booting without these options doesn't even let me perform "reiserfsck --check /dev/hdd6" correctly.
