Hey people. This is a potentially serious problem I have here. Basically I was doing a backup (ironic) onto my backup harddrive, when I started seeing a lot of this in the logs:
| Code: | Feb 19 23:27:56 mjg91 ata3: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0xd8 host_stat 0x1

I've googled and searched the forums and noone seems to really have much to say about this sort of problem.
My wierdest bit is that as you can see, /dev/sdc is the culprit here, and that is what I was backing up to. But I *think* that my /dev/sdd was getting filled up by this process. I'm very confused. It was full anyway after I did a reboot. I know it was nearly full before, but I didn't think it was completely full, and I find it hard to beleive that it was completely full anyway - literally not one byte left.
Now fortunately these two hard drives arn't that crucial - it's not my home dir or my root dir, but I'd really like to get to the bottom of it.
I had just updated to 2.6.15.1 kernel today, could that be it?!
What should I do?!

mattjgalloway,
I'm not a guru with hardware, but I had been experiencing errors similar to that on my box. I had 1 PATA and 2 SATA's on a VIA controller (ASUS A8V-Deluxe) and the "abnormal status" errors started about a month and a half ago. It turned out, after speaking with ASUS, that my VIA controller was dying, and I RMA'd it.
The errors you describe below are what I was seeing.
Good luck with it,
Wah

| Also check the connections of the SATA cable (both motherboard side and drive side), bad connections there can cause weird errors. |

Yeh I've checked the cables, seem fine.
My main issue is that I seem to have lost space on one of my drives - where I mentioned that it started to write onto my next hard drive along, eventually filling it up.
Hmmmm, it's very odd.
I think I will upgrade my drives soon anyway, I guess I'll get it all sorted then.
