=2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've been having problems with my western digital drive=20 (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=3D24) for about a year= =2E =20 I've posted messages about this before, but I have some new information tha= t=20 may be relevant. =20 The problem started out when I would randomly hear the drive restarting. I= t=20 would make a high pitch sound that would increase in pitch and last a secon= d=20 or two (The same sound the drive makes when you power on the system). =20 Messages similar to the ones below would also appear in /var/log/messages: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=3D0 serv=3D0 - resetting /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. ata0-slave: ATA identify retries exceed= ed ad0: READ command timeout tag=3D0 serv=3D0 - resetting At first, these drive resets would only happen once or twice and everything= =20 would go back to normal. Eventually they would happen over and over until= =20 the system became unusable and wouldn't boot up even after running fsck in= =20 singal user mode with all the partitions unmount or mounted read only. I=20 found a temporary solution was to run the western digital diagnostic tools= =20 and then run fsck. I would usually have a small amount of data=20 corruption/loss but the system would be usable again. Things would be fine= =20 for a week or longer, but the problem would eventually reappear. Finally I= =20 contacted WD and they sent me a replacement drive (It was the same model, b= ut=20 a refurbished drive that I'm guessing was sent back by someone else). Afte= r=20 a few tries I managed to get dd to copy the contents of the old drive to th= e=20 new drive and for quite some time everything was great. But, the other day= =20 the new drive began to have the same problem as the old one. So now, I'm guessing the problem may lie with the controller on the main bo= ard=20 (http://usa.asus.com/mb/socketa/a7v266-e/overview.htm). My main board has the optional raid controller. Would it be possible to us= e=20 that controller with my current drive, or would the secondary controller be= a=20 better solution? Other notes: I've tried a few different IDE cables. I don't think it has anything to do with the OS since the resets have happe= ned=20 before the OS starts to boot and in the BIOS. I've included a uname -a, dmesg output and my kernel config file below. An= y=20 tips would be much appreciated. Thanks, Joey uname -a:=20 =46reeBSD *hostname* 4.9-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p2 #0: Mon Feb 9=20 03:08:50 AST 2004 =20 root@*hostname*:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL_CONFIG_2004-02-09 i386 dmesg: Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.
