Re: FW: PDC202XX DMA loss in 2.4.21-pre3-ac4

[Manish Lachwani <m_lachwani@yahoo.com>]

0xd0 indicates that the driver aborted the command.
Can you try to get the SMART data from the drive using
smartctl?

use "smartctl -e /dev/hdX" to enable SMART collection

use "smartctl -a /dev/hdX" to collect the SMART data
...

Thanks
