IDENTIFY is the first command sent to a device when it is being probed. This means that at least the AHCI (is it AHCI ?) adapter found the ports and drives connected. But the qc timeout indicates that there is no response from the drive. This could be due to interrupts not being received for the command completion. One thing to try would be to increase the identify command timeout to see things simply got slow (for whatever reason) or if indeed there is no response at all. Note that after the first timeout, normally the port is reset and the command retried. That does not seem to be the case here. Weird... Maybe try something like this: diff --git a/drivers/ata/libata-eh.c b/drivers/ata/libata-eh.c index 1d4a6f1e88cd..16e105bcb899 100644 --- a/drivers/ata/libata-eh.c +++ b/drivers/ata/libata-eh.c @@ -79,7 +79,7 @@ enum { * take an exceptionally long time to recover from reset. */ static const unsigned long ata_eh_reset_timeouts[] = { - 10000, /* most drives spin up by 10sec */ + 30000, /* most drives spin up by 10sec */ 10000, /* > 99% working drives spin up before 20sec */ 35000, /* give > 30 secs of idleness for outlier devices */ 5000, /* and sweet one last chance */ Also note that I posted a patch a couple of days ago fixing a qc timeout for read log commands during device probe.
