Him I got a Maxtor 6Y080P0 with exactly the same firmware, smart does not show anything either. And my other maxtor does not complain, so i guess we are having the same issue here.
I don't see these errors on MAXTOR 6L080L4 (firmware A93.0500) and FUJITSU MPG3409AT.
What's interesting, both Fujitsu and Maxtor 6L080L4 are ATA/ATAPI-5 drives, while Maxtor 6Y080L0 is ATA/ATAPI-7.
I suspect this error is caused by the difference in ATAPI standards and the way reiserfs accesses the drive. So in my understanding, reserfs attmpts to use some feature on the disk, fails on it, and disables it.
Ok, so this does not mean it is going to die soon. That's all I want to hear. Do you know if I only have to worry if smart tells me to, or if it can happen that smart tells me everything is ok when it is not? Thanks for the reply! Sven
