Sorry for the late reply. I don't have an idea what could be causing this problem but the output of "smartctl -a <disk>" (for both disks), lspci and "uname -a" will probably help to pin down the problem. Does the smartctl output differ in any way if you have ACHI turned on or off?
Hi Guido,uname -a is: "Linux hab 2.6.26-1-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Nov 8 20:31:23 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
But, note that it's an amd64 kernel running an i386 userland.Output of the other commands is attached, all in the "achi off" state. When I get the chance to reboot, I'll take samples in the "achi on" state. I don't recall any differences, but I might easily have missed them.
The errors in the sda log appeared when I was doing hdparm -i and -t and various smartctl commands, right before the original bugreport. Oddly, even though I did more or less the same thing on both drives, only one produced errors.
