Hello,

I've currently a problem with my hard disk but I'm not sure that it is really a problem. So, I'm asking you if it's really a problem and if there are solutions or not. :-)

I've just made a backup of /home/ in case that is a problem with the hard disk...

When I'm starting my desktop and it is starting on the kernel, here are the logs[1].

I ask me if this message is a problem or not :

Aug 22 11:03:20 sithare kernel: hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61
Aug 22 11:03:20 sithare kernel: hda: DMA timeout error
Aug 22 11:03:20 sithare kernel: hda: dma timeout error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Aug 22 11:03:20 sithare kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown


Is it a problem ? Likewise, this slows the boot...

- I've made a control of the hard disk with the smartctl utility (smartctl --test=long /dev/hda), see the result[2] :
- And with the hdparm utility[3].

What do you think about it?

Thank you,
Shams
