I have one "IBM-DJNA-352030" as he system disk where the /var partition got f+cked up, copying the data elswhere and unmounting this one (live!) and disabling DMA was a temporary fix here... But unfortenuately I have 2 "IBM-DTLA-307030" in a MD configuration which one of the disks have taken a vacation... Is the "IC35L060AVER07-0" ok?, I have two of these I could replace the MD with... So..., 2 of 3 disks may be bad in my case..., very bad IBM!, though the system is still running :)

Well, It is one cable and one controller?. AFAIK it is pretty complex.. Or you mean DMA is not being disabled on the slave itself?

One of my raid disks has fallen out too (one year old ibm disk bought in a
batch), so I don't really know what has happened in my case... I have to
investigate this further this week.

Re: [Cooker] dma errors and latest mandrake kernel?
Well I'm getting something similar. On my setup I have 2 drives, and old
13G IBM, and a new 123G IBM. I keep getting hdb: dma_intr errors as per
yourself, but then it disables DMA on hda, and I no longer get the hdb
dma_intr errors.
Anybody care to explain why DMA on the master is being disabled when the
dma_intr errors are apparently occuring on the slave?

I will compile the vanilla kernel and re-enable dma to make sure first of all.

Thanks for the tip.
But the disk is very far away..., about 1 hour drive...

Last time I saw this my disc was in the process of dying.
I suggest you backup and give it a thourough check for badblocks.

Re: [Cooker] dma errors and latest mandrake kernel?
I did a quick check on a few of my servers and I am not getting those messages
but I have replaced one motherboard and two hard drives over suspected dma
problems in the last three months.
Wish I had kept better notes.

[Cooker] dma errors and latest mandrake kernel?
Hi.
After some continous degradation in hdd performance I finally found what was
causing it...
---[snip] ---
Oct 4 04:15:01 hostname kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady
SeekComplete Error }
Oct 4 04:15:01 hostname kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound
}, LBAsect=4105991, sector=9328
Setting "USE_DMA=0" in "/etc/sysconfig/harddisks" made these errors go away...
Has there been a crucial change in the kernel build config since the last 3
months or so that I have missed? I have had this working before without these
problems... I'm curious...
