Hi, I am having a problem with a SuSE 7.3 PPC server crashing when there is heavy IO on a specific drive (/dev/hdb1). This error happens when the drive is being used as the target while rsync'ing with another filesystem to mirror it once a night. Unfortunately the only data I have at this moment is some errors in the /var/log/boot.msg. The drive does mount the ext3 filesystem just fine after a reboot. Fsck comes up clean. Here is the error in boot.msg: <4>hdb: timeout waiting for DMA <4>ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14 <4>hdb: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } <4>hdb: drive not ready for command <4>hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } <4>hdb: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } <4>hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } <4>hdb: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } <4>hdb: timeout waiting for DMA <4>ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14 <4>hdb: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } <4>hdb: drive not ready for command <4>hdb: timeout waiting for DMA <4>ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14 <4>hdb: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } <4>hdb: drive not ready for command <4>hdb: timeout waiting for DMA <4>ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14 <4>hdb: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } <4>hdb: drive not ready for command Does anyone have a clue if this means this drive is bad (which I suspect) or is this another problem. Any other suggestions? Thanks Benjamin
