In my case, there were too much problem with nforce4 and SATA2 drive the solution who works for me: 1-desactivate write cache for disks sudo hdparm -W0 /dev/sdX this will be automaticaly reconfigured or hardly stored in drive, no need to relaunch this command after reboot (not tested after a windows boot)
2-disable NCQ for disks: echo 1 |sudo tee /sys/block/sdX/device/queue_depth this need to be relaunch at each reboot, for that do: sudo crontab -l and write a line by disk @reboot echo 1 >/sys/block/sdX/device/queue_depth since I have made this 2 modification, I never get a sata freeze while transfering data. -- SATA HDD freeze https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301893 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
