Hi Greg,

I also experience severe data loss whenever such an error occurs.
Perhaps you have a failing drive?
I hooked up another WD drive WDC WD5002ABYS-02B1B0 from a different familiy instead of the failing drive WDC WD3200AAJS-60Z0A0 to one of the failing machines and doing endless kiwi builds.
Sofar it is working since about 4 hours with an otherwise unmodified setup.
Can the observed error be explained with a firmware bug?
Possibly.
All failing machines have drives from the same family either WDC WD2500AAJS-60M0A0 or WDC WD3200AAJS-60Z0A0.
(Yes I validated that a failing drive had the most recent available firmware 03.03E03)
Sounds like a bad drive family :( As you have fixed it by changing the drive, I suggest not using those other models anymore. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
