I have found what maybe the problem, but I am not discounting the hardware one...
From the hdparm man page: -Z
Disable the automatic power-saving function of certain Seagate drives (ST3xxx models?), to prevent them from idling/spinning- down at inconvenient times.
I doubt this is it, but it's worth a try... maybe.
I'll take a look. These are ST410008N drives (I think that is the model number), and I don't recall them having that feature. After disassembling the case, the drive above the bottom Seagate is the one that is giving the problems, giving credence to the heat problem theory. I've removed the front panels from in front of the drives for now (I can't move them - there is no room in the bays), and will place a fan there to pull air through the case. Thanks, - -ronc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7t9FcZ+z1OyGYSIwRAu63AKC7gtBfJHyz9EUZcu6Zb/1WuPCdQACfc5l3 iFO4xKApNL96GiLJjqB4mdk= =IROZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
