It says:
«Your SATA controller gives error messages back for the read and write commands.
The error is timeout, which says that the controller can't communicate with your hard disks, more exactly it doesn't get answer from them.
The most likely cause of the problem is contact problem with your SATA cables. Check with other hard disk, other cable, plug the cable into different slots and so on.»
Ok... that matches.
I just replaced the 4 sata cables, with angled versions. The straight connectors were bumping hard into the metal back cover of the box. Perhaps that was it. I remembered that I have two identical disks: Telcontar:~ # fdisk -l /dev/sdc Disk /dev/sdc: 3.7 TiB, 4000787030016 bytes, 7814037168 sectors Disk model: ST4000DM004-2CV1 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes ... Telcontar:~ # fdisk -l /dev/sdd Disk /dev/sdd: 3.7 TiB, 4000787030016 bytes, 7814037168 sectors Disk model: ST4000DM004-2CV1 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes .... Only sdc has the problem, so it can not be firmware or software. Shouldn't. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
