Hi,
 
I´m using the OS Debian 3.1rc1 and Kernel 2.4.27-2-386, but I need help,
when I execute the backup script´s, the hardware can´t read and writer
in the HDD (30GB) SATA.
 
The backup is accomplished of a disk Sata for another Sata of same model
and  
mark.

 
My hardware are: Attached file_1.txt
 
 
Connecting the disk to the kernel mentioned in the enclosure above, the
system  
it recognized my two disks automatically SATA. The formatting of the
disk was easy without any error message and the writing of small volume
of data (approximately 200MB) it doesn't happen mistake also.
 
The problem is when the backup is accomplished using the command:

tar cvpfz /backup/local/$date/compart-$date.tar.gz /compart/

when the folder compart possesses about 20GB. When the backup is
accomplished  
the following error message is recorded in the log files:  
  
Error messages: Attached file_2.txt  

After that I had downloaded  the most recent kernel in kernel.org in the
version 2.6.18.1.  
I compiled the driver for controlling Sis 964 in the way buit-in and
other  
drivers SIS also as buit-in.

Although the Server has been stableer, in other words, it locks in
some  
days that are being accomplished the backup and no all as it was  
happening with the kernel mentioned in the begin of this e-mail, it is
still generating  
error messages, however different from the previous.  
  
The messages of mistakes are the following ones.  
  
Contained in / var/log/debug. - Attached file_3.txt  
  
Contained in / var/log/kernel.log. - Attached file_4.txt  


Does some special parameter exist to be passed to carry the driver?
 
Thank you.  
Fernando Faria Mariano.

SErr 0x700401 is...

ERR.I	: Recovered data integrity error
ERR.P	: Protocol error
DIAG.H	: Handshake error
DIAG.C	: CRC error
DIAG.D	: Disparity error

So, you're suffering frequent transmission errors (not media).  The
probable causes are...

* Wrong cabling (faulty cable, bad contacts)
* Power fluctuation or other electromagnetic interference
* Faulty hardware (controller and/or drive)

Try to...

* Reconnect whole thing.
* Swap cables.
* Swap drives.
* Swap controller ports.
* Swap power connectors.
