Hello, I've recently installed Debian on a QNAP TS-410. Everything seems to work pretty well, except for the SATA controller. In a device like this, it's a pretty important piece of hardware :)
Everything works well up until a certain point. After a while the machine becomes unresponsive because of it's root file system being blocked by a failing ata link. It's (I think) the same problem that has been reported earlier, but unike that problem this crash is inevitable. The easiest and fastest way to reproduce this error for me is to run a mkfs.ext4 on a newly created md RAID set. I've logged the console output[1] of the machine booting followed by my attempt to create a big filesystem. # mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=4 ...etc. # mkfs.ext4 -v -m .1 -b 4096 -E stride=32,stripe-width=64 /dev/md0 During the first few blocks of the mkfs the ata subsystem stops responding. Because some people have reported a reboot fixes the problem, I've tried the same thing a second[2] time after both a cold and a warm reboot. The same problem keeps popping up. I've already updated the kernel to 2.6.32-25 from testing, but as you can see in the logs, that didn't help. I'm out of ideas, so if anyone has an idea I could try, that'd be helpful.
