Is there anything in these /var/log/messages excerpts from two different hosts that can identify which (external) sata device is connected with the reported errors? I don't see any connection between that information and the content of /dev/disk/[by-path,by-id]. Is there a way to tell if a kernel bug or a device is the problem? These errors show up in conjunction with various degrees of I/O delay, sometimes as bad as several minutes of inability to get bash to respond to keyboard input. The most recent time some commands would result in a simple segfaulted. Others would produce bash: input/output error. Ctrl-Alt-Del failed to reboot, as did init 6 (input/output error), forcing me to use power switch and wait a seeming eternity for fsck on 1TB+ partitions to complete.
You'll find that info earlier in the log. e.g. on my system: [ 1.290219] ata1.00: ATA-8: OCZ-VERTEX2, 1.35, max UDMA/133 Alternatively, lsscsi -v will show: [0:0:0:0] disk ATA OCZ-VERTEX2 1.35 /dev/sda dir: /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0 [/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0] ... where you can see the 'ata1' in the sysfs path. The problem with that type of error is that it's tough to isolate what the problem is without detailed hardware knowledge (the type of knowledge I don't personally have). Joey's team has more experience with ATA issues. Perhaps they can assist. - -Jeff
I've run the Seagate thorough diagnostics on the drives, 100% error free.
The suspect device is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817173042 but I want to provide Rosewill tech support hard evidence of the incompetence of the device if I can be sure it is exclusively responsible for the errors. I bought 5 of them and never had trouble. Only with #6, the only version 2 of the model I have, has there been a problem. The #6 I have now is actually the 3rd replacement of the original #6 purchased last September.
