I began consolidating files with great joy from external ext2 disks to the new 2 TB fossil drive using trfs.latin1. After only 300 or so gigabytes I saw this on the console:
fossil: diskWriteRaw failed: /dev/sdE0/fossil: score 0x016d1415: data Sun Oct 16 09:37:58 EDT 2011 part=data block 23925781: i/o error I searched through the 9fans archives and tried the following: - pulled the latest 9pccpuf from ftp.quanstro.net and booted with it. Made no difference. - ran 'echo debug sdE >/dev/sdctl' and 'dd -if /dev/sdE0/data -of /dev/null -bs 8192'. No errors. Whenever I see this diskWriteRaw message on the console, file operations get stuck. fshalt jams too. This is fossil only. No venti. Now I am at a point where I get this error almost immediately after bootup. BIOS is (and has always been) set to AHCI mode with S.M.A.R.T. enabled. Brand new disk. Luckily I have all the data on the other drives. What to do next?
