And possibly a common fluke. Linux Questions stated something like this: "This is normal, benign error: SATA is not fully recognized as DMA capable. Forget about this error." Such was my suspicion since those disks are working just fine :-) Xubuntu forum suggested checking dmesg: ~$ dmesg | grep Direct [ 0.948971] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA WDC WD800JB-00ET 77.0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 0.985211] scsi 2:0:1:0: Direct-Access ATA WDC WD10EACS-00Z 01.0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 and also suggested ignoring that error message. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
