Hello!
I've just created RAID 5 with Promise TX4 and 4 x ST3500630AS (Seagate 7200.10). I'm running the latest kernel for SUSE 10.2, which is 2.6.18.8-0.3-default and it's using sata_promise as driver. Seemed fine, but I just noticed that it generates lots of errors in the logs:
Jun 8 03:35:20 delta kernel: ata4: no sense translation for status: 0x50 Jun 8 03:35:20 delta kernel: ata4: translated ATA stat/err 0x50/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/00/00 Jun 8 03:35:20 delta kernel: ata4: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
I get these for all the disks in the raid (ata1, ata2, ata3, ata4). The controller and the disks are brand new. Smartctl doesn't find anything wrong with the disks (-t long).
Something is definitely wrong. I can not find out what. I did find some indication from a little googling that it could be a bug in the sata_promise. There were somebody here using the same SATA card with SUSE 10.2 just a while ago... is anybody else seeing these? I'm just about to move all my files there, but just now I'm quite worried.

Looks more like FYI messages rather than errors to me.
But I get them a lot and I've never seen them before. It seems that it happens during high disk activity and not always. So something out of the ordinary definitely happens.

Some google hits suggest turning off smart in the bios may suppress the messages. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
