A good question.
We too has - not the same but similar - drives here, which shows pretty
similar behavior.
ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
ata1.00: ATA-7: ST3250620NS, 3.AEG, max UDMA/133
ata1.00: 488397168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32)
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 488397168 512-byte hardware sectors (250059 MB)
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 488397168 512-byte hardware sectors (250059 MB)
(those are 250Gb drives, not 500Gb as Diego have, but they're
from the same model line). Later on:
ata1.00: exception Emask 0x2 SAct 0x8 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
ata1.00: (spurious completions during NCQ issue=0x0 SAct=0x8 FIS=004040a1:00000004)
ata1.00: cmd 61/08:18:02:98:d8/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 3 cdb 0x0 data 4096 out
res 40/00:20:6a:72:d8/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x2 (HSM violation)
ata1: soft resetting port
ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133
ata1: EH complete
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 488397168 512-byte hardware sectors (250059 MB)
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
and so on and so on.
The thing is that I haven't seen this behavior with previous kernel.
I upgraded from 2.6.20-i686 to 2.6.22-x86-64 (from kernel.org), and
started seeing those messages. I'm not sure if it's new kernel
version or 32 vs 64 bits issue.
The machine is our main production server, so I can't test it right
now - have to wait till some spare evening...
