Original situation: machine has a bunch of drives and controller
cards. Each drive is on one cable. Each controller card has two drives.
Drives: hde hdg hdi hdk hdm hdo make up /dev/md1 (One spare, RAID-5)
hde (Spinpoint) starts giving errors. Then I get errors from ext3 on one
partition on /dev/md1
hde gets pulled from the array, and the spare added. When resync
finished, I reboot and do a fsck on the faulty partition.
Next day: hdi (Spinpoint) gives same errors, followed by file system
errors. I pull hdi from the array, shut the machine down, remove hde and
hdi from the machine, and replace hdi with a handy 250GB
Seagate. Reboot, go through fsck hell again, add hdi to md1 and let it rebuild.
On a Windows machine, the two Spinpoint disks are formatted
happily. We're running chkdsk on there now.
Meanwhile a Maxtor drive (hdk) has started giving the
[10059.640000] hdk: drive_cmd: status=0xd0 { Busy }
[10059.640000] ide: failed opcode was: 0xea
error that the other two did. No file system errors *yet*.
I have ordered a couple more 250GB disks "in case" for tomorrow, and
have just compiled a 2.6.21.3 kernel to replace the 2.6.20 I was
running.
For reference, the disk controllers are:
