 |
|
Ive got 2 80gb SATA (Western Digital) disks in my computer. However time to time i get this error
| Code: |
Jun 24 23:58:19 elevator ata2: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Jun 24 23:58:19 elevator ata2: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
|
ata2 is the 2nd hard disk. They are running in raid 0 so whenever this happens whole system freezes. What do you guys think/anyone had this before? This hasnt been happening before i put those 2 hdd in my new AMD64 box (Asus A8V-E mobo)

petrjanda,
Maybe its a dying drive. Back it all up just in case.
| Code: | | emerge smartmontools |
and look at the drives internal error log.

| It's a good idea to use smartmontools. I have the smard daemon always running and have cron jobs to do the short test daily and the long test weekly. |

i started the daemon, now what? I looked in the log, and it says smartmontools dont support drivers using the libata driver.

From the smartmon webpage:
| Quote: | | Smartmontools should work correctly with SATA drives under both Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, if you use the standard IDE drivers in drivers/ide. If you use the new libata drivers, it won't work correctly because libata doesn't yet support the needed ATA-passthrough ioctl() calls. Jeff Garzik, the libata developer, says that this support will be added to libata in the future. When this happens, we'll add support to smartmontools for a new SATA/libata device type '-d sata'. |
So it doesn't work with the libata drivers.
If you have access to a windows system you could use one of the vendor specific drive analysis programs (in this case Western Digital), see http://www.benchmarkhq.ru/english.html?/be_hdd2.html .
Other than that I remember that I had once CRC errors with an IDE drive. In that case it was a bad cable, the cable was okay but it was a little bit loose in the socket. |
