After a large file (4gigs) transfer using Samba attempts to access the file
(also across Samba) resulted in lots of the following type of message.
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=250746,
sector=250680
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector 250680
Can anyone point me in the direction of a reason/solution?
Thanks,
Simon

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If I'm not misstaking that's hardware error.

Uncorrectable error is a message from your disk, along the lines of "Hey
pal I wonder if the warranty has expired yet"

I got a similar error yesterday and this morning and asked about it on
the ext3 list because I wasn't sure if it was fs related or hw.

The drive's less than a year old :-(
Should I try disabling some of the UDMA stuff?

If it amuses you. You might as well dye your hair pink and dance naked
around it for all the difference it will make

Age of the disk doesn't matter, they'll die at any age. They seem to die
most frequently either within one year, or after 3 years.
Turning off UDMA probably won't help, it looks like it's time to restore
from backups. If you try to recover data from the disk, make sure you mount
it in read-only mode if you can get the drive that far up if you reboot.

LOL, I get the message, thanks Alan.

It's a dev box anyway - just for tinkering. Even so, it's annoying.
Someone asked what the drive model was: IBM-DTLA-305030.
Will send the bugger back in the morning.

I've seen 2 drives with UncorrectableErrors that were correctable.
One happened after booting Linux with APM enabled, and the other after
running Windows with vendor-specific DMA Block mode enabled.
In each case a low level format took care of it. No bad sectors on
either drive in over a year.

That's your problem right there. I've had two of the DTLA drives die, a 15GB
and a 45GB. They're notorious. They sent me back a new 120GXP-series 60GB one
to replace the 45 gigger. Hopefully it'll last a bit longer...

That won't help, this indeed is a media error. The drive is heading to
hell. You have about another six months of life before it goes belly up
completely.
Any chance it's one of those fast IBM 30 or 45 gig drives? They seem to
be dying pretty fast ...

I expect a patch like this would help avoid these sort of

This is the wrong approach. That information is available properly if and
when the vendors install the smart utilities

Doesn't necessarily help. I recently saw a hard drive which made funny
noises and got really slow reading some parts of the drive (~30MB/s on
some parts, ~300kB/s on others), but ide-smart didn't report failed
tests. Two days later the drive was dead...
It was an IBM 60GB drive, but I don't remember the exact type. It
called itself "IC35L060AVER07-0".

Did you enable smart?
Did you run the captive smart tests?
If this is on you / drive DO NOT run captive mode, the kernel go into
starvation mode.

I only ran ide-smart /dev/hdx on the drive, and got a list of 'Passed'
tests. Do I need to enable something else for ide-smart to work?
What are the captive smart tests?

I had two DTLA-series IBM drives. Both of them started having problems, nothing
showed up on IBM's own bootable floppy based SMART tests, and both of them died
with no SMART warnings.
I'm not at all confident that SMART is all that useful.
