I use Debian 8 Kernel 3.16 and also own a LSI 2008 card flashed to IT mode (firmware P20) and have problems with disks that were spun down. Writing to them when they are spun down usually ends in the following errors: [59526.359997] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdc] FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [59526.360003] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdc] CDB: [59526.360006] Read(16): 88 00 00 00 00 00 31 28 fd 58 00 00 00 08 00 00 [59526.360022] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 824769880 [59544.111090] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [59544.111097] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] CDB: [59544.111100] Read(16): 88 00 00 00 00 00 31 28 fd 50 00 00 00 08 00 00 [59544.111115] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 824769872 [59544.114465] sd 0:0:4:0: [sdf] FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [59544.114468] sd 0:0:4:0: [sdf] CDB: [59544.114469] Read(16): 88 00 00 00 00 00 31 28 fd 58 00 00 00 08 00 00 [59544.114483] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdf, sector 824769880 [59552.117436] sd 0:0:3:0: [sde] FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [59552.117443] sd 0:0:3:0: [sde] CDB: [59552.117446] Read(16): 88 00 00 00 00 00 31 28 fd b0 00 00 00 08 00 00 [59552.117462] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sde, sector 824769968 [59572.951158] sd 0:0:2:0: [sdd] FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [59572.951167] sd 0:0:2:0: [sdd] CDB: [59572.951170] Read(16): 88 00 00 00 00 00 31 28 fd b0 00 00 00 08 00 00 [59572.951192] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 824769968 [59572.955679] sd 0:0:5:0: [sdg] FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [59572.955695] sd 0:0:5:0: [sdg] CDB: [59572.955701] Read(16): 88 00 00 00 00 00 31 28 fd b0 00 00 00 08 00 00 [59572.955720] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdg, sector 824769968 [70357.782677] sd 0:0:4:0: [sdf] FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [70357.782686] sd 0:0:4:0: [sdf] CDB: [70357.782690] Read(16): 88 00 00 00 00 00 85 c1 c9 08 00 00 00 08 00 00 [70357.782712] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdf, sector 2244069640 [70368.087947] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [70368.087953] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] CDB: [70368.087955] Read(16): 88 00 00 00 00 00 85 c1 c9 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 [70368.087969] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 2244069632 Notice the lack of the "Device not ready" message, otherwise these errors look very similiars to Matthias' errors. I have no clue what to do to fix this problem. Any suggestions? Greetings, Felix
