Also, firmware on some harddrives die solidly when transmission errors occur. Maybe yours is one. There's nothing much the driver can do about both the transmission error and the drive locking up afterward. If the transmission errors occur frequently, the chance is that either your drive or power supply is dying. As for the drive lock up, maybe firmware update will help. * "smartctl -a /dev/sda" might report something interesting. * Connect the drive to different SATA and power connector and see if the problem persists. * Connect the drive to a separate power supply and see if the problem persists. -- tejun - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
