Blown2bits, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1502 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985429 Title: SATA 3 error on intense disk activity Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On Natty: Linux name 2.6.38-14-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 27 20:04:55 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Using two WD Caviar Black SATA3 (WD1002FAEX) drives raid 0 on a Marvell SATA RAID controller built into the Asus Rampage III. Both drives have Native Command Queuing. Drive is /dev/sdb1, formatted ext4. Controller from lspci: 01:00.0 SATA controller [0106]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9123 PCIe SATA 6.0 Gb/s controller [1b4b:9123] (rev 11) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0]) This issue may be related to or a duplicate of Bug #539467. Though it is a desktop machine, not a laptop. So not power state changes caused by power cable being plugged or unplugged. I have seen references to a problem with NCQ, but I don't know if that is relevant here. I have seen references to a problem with these drives in RAID configuration, but I don't know if that is relevant here. Symptoms: 1. Transferring > 200 GB of data. 2. System freezes while drive light flashes once per 2 seconds 3a. 95 % of time: after 10-20 seconds, system recovers. (see attached syslog) 3b. 5 % of time: system does not recover. Drive light flickers with some activity (v. dim, though). System can be reset with Ctrl-Alt-SysRq-B. If system recovers, syslog contains attached file: 120418_syslog.txt (will attach).
