I have been receiving the following error diagnostics recently
Code:
Mar 22 22:57:34 lyalls-pc ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
Mar 22 22:57:34 lyalls-pc ata1.00: cmd c8/00:08:b0:f0:a6/00:00:00:00:00/e1 tag 0 dma 4096 in

Mar 22 22:57:34 lyalls-pc sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA


I think this has been happening since my last kernel rebuild.
It's an old motherboard, nothing new within the last 6 months, the only thing that has changed is my DVD no longer locks up during writes, but these freezes are more annoying.
Any suggestions?

More info follows...

In my experience, this kind of SATA errors are most of the times hardware related.

But in your case, the problem seems to only occur when running the 2.6.24 kernel. Try posting the output of dmesg and lspci -nnv.

I noticed in dmesg

Code:
Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods


I am not sure how I am supposed to update the drivers if I have the latest kernel.

dmesg and lspci as follows.

Code:

It looks like you have a conflict because 2 drivers are enabled for the same hardware.

You should choose either the older IDE driver (CONFIG_IDE=y), or the newer libata driver (CONFIG_ATA=y), but not both.

It's possible, but only if one of the drivers uses DMA. Details in the link:

http://linux-ata.org/faq.html

Anyway, some people have reported problems like these that disappear disabling combined mode. So it's worth a try :).

Have had a look at your dmesg and lspci. Seem normal. If you still find errors, I'll have a more thorough look.

Well, disabling IDE in my kernel config caused 2 of my 3 drives to change from /dev/hd to /dev/sd and renumbered my linux drive from /dev/sda to /dev/sdd.

A moment of panic till I managed to read the kerel panic message correctly and figured which drive was my boot device.

Minor tweaks to my /etc/fstab to get my windows partitions to mount, no changes in my linux filesystems as I use labels.
Fix /boot/grub/grub.conf go have the correct root= paramter.

After all that, the freezes of /dev/sdd (used to be known as /dev/sda before disabling IDE) continue.

Although it may seem that only /dev/sdd is freezing, it is the prime disk for my linux install. All other disks are windows related and are not used as much by my linux install, so I cannot say if the other disks are exhibiting the behaviour - I may even try booting up windows and have it do a surface scan on the disk, to see if it reports freezing. I just hope my grub config is still sane enough to boot windows...

Information included in this message is...
1. hdparms of each disk
2. dmesg
3. lspci -nnv
4. /proc/config.gz

Make sure the cable is properly secured.

Windows reports freezes too so that eliminates linux configuration.
Investigation continues...

Again, check the cable. Failing that, change the PSU (for a good one), or remove a couple of drives and see if it still happens.

Thanks Monkeh, I noticed your response after I posted my windows report.
I have given the cables a re-seat and the problem appears to have gone away, I am left with filesystem corruption, which I have become an expert at resolving over the last few days.
I will update the thread to solved in the next day or so, if the problem is gone.

I don't care, for all the praises of SATA, the cables and connectors are shit. End of story. If I so much as look at my machine wrong, /dev/sdb is out of order until a reboot. At least it's a non-critical drive on a RAID-5, so it just makes me a little nervous until I get it re-synched.

After restoring a couple of filesystems from backups, things seem to be stable now.

My only issue I have now is that I find the following in my /var/log/messages.

I am thinking it's got something to do with 'blkid' (see blkid( 8 ) man pages). I think this because I searched for device /dev/sda in every /etc/* file and /etc/blkid.tab cache file turned up. I emptied the /etc/blkid.tab cache file and re-ran blkid and I will report back after next boot to see if the problem has gone away.

Code:

SATA connectors can be a pain, yes. The cables are good, imo, if you're careful. You need a good quality PSU, and some careful cable management, but if you do it right, it will behave. (I have five SATA, one PATA, and one SCSI drive in my machine.. all behave)

This is a classic symptom of filesystem corruption - normally nothing should try seeking past the end of the device, except the filesystem says that's where the data is stored... Although the blocks it's requesting are _close_ to the end of the device, where otherwise one would expect more random looking block numbers.

The other probable cause for something like that is copying a partition to another that's not big enough.

Edit: Found the problem: Your partition is sized larger than the drive. Multiply the block count by 1024 and compare to the device size ;)

PSU is fine, but cable management is a bit out the window for me... I've got 5 drives and two opticals spread across 3 controllers... four ribbon cables snaking their way around, plus the two SATA and power for everything. My issue is that touching the cable shouldn't impact the connection... it doesn't for PATA drives, USB connectors are alright in that regard too. But I don't think the SATA data connectors are quite robust enough to deal with this (I mean, there's barely any tension holding them on to start with). If I have to pull the drive cage out with the machine running for some reason (yeah, not the best idea, I admit), I can almost count on one of the SATA drives getting knocked offline. I've read stories of how easy it is to break the connectors with sideways pressure as well...

Or... maybe I've just got cheap cables? :?

You can get locking cables. Touching the cables is a problem, however, because SATA uses LVDS. Faster, but it doesn't take much to put it off. Just opening the case can be enough. They're essentially faraday cages for a reason.

SATA was really designed as a backplane system. If you want to be pulling drives out, get a hot-swap bay :P

Hmm, that explains some of it, but I've still had issues even with the case closed the whole time... Maybe I need to be a little cautious about keeping the SATA lines away from things that might be more electrically noisy...

Heh, it's kinda funny though: fdisk will warn you when your partitions aren't in order on the disk, but when one of them is clearly out of bounds it just smiles and nods.

Ok, I think my read errors are either because of LVM or a problem with my root filesystem.

Investigation continues.

Sorry, I kinda buried it in the earlier message, but your partition is sized bigger than your disk (compare the disk cylinders to the partition cylinders)... this is probably why you're getting the access beyond end of device errors.

Seems you have two different problems. The SATA errors are most probably hardware related (since you also encounter them when using Windows).

The second error means the FS wants a block outside the bounds of the block device. Difficult to tell the cause... Anyway... I would bet it's a issue with Windows "dynamic disks"...

Ok, wiggling the SATA Cables fixed the timeout problem.

I now have a corrupt root filesystem that is usable but needs to be restored from backup to correct the structural problems.

I am in the process of creating myself a bootable livecd/usb key (since I use XFS under LVM and have my backup images on an NTFS or FAT32 partition on a separate disk - I have a choice of two disks).

I will investigate the partition size. Kinda worried about how I am going to fix that without destroying the entire disk. Although, there is nothing important in that partition, it won't hurt too badly if it disappears, it's only windoze programs.

Edit: Well, there goes that NTFS partition.... maybe when I boot Windoze and run a chkdsk, it might resurrect.

Root filesystem corruption resolved.
Once I figured out that the Gentoo 2007 Install CD finds my root partition (/dev/sda2) and mounts it, rather than mounting the CD, I did the following
Code:
umount /newroot/mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/hdc /newroot/mnt/cdrom
exit

and the boot process continued normally, then I was able to re-format my root partition, mount the disk partition that had the backups on and restore my filesystem.

And so ends the saga that has spanned nearly 2 weeks.
