I had the same ugly ata errors with my Asus P7P55D-E Premium and a Crucial C300 SATA drive. lspci: SATA controller: Device 1b4b:9123 (rev 10)
my workaround: disable NCQ and now I can use my SATA3 drive through the Marvell 9123 controller of my MoBo. (see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9684933&postcount=12) I tested this workaround with iozone3 without any errors. before this workaround: Aug 6 09:58:08 st-002 kernel: [ 3.249455] ata5.00: ATA-9: C300-CTFDDAC256MAG, 0002, max UDMA/100 Aug 6 09:58:08 st-002 kernel: [ 3.249461] ata5.00: 500118192 sectors, multi 1: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32), AA after this workaround: Aug 6 10:01:36 st-002 kernel: [ 3.369991] ata5.00: ATA-9: C300-CTFDDAC256MAG, 0002, max UDMA/100 Aug 6 10:01:36 st-002 kernel: [ 3.369996] ata5.00: 500118192 sectors, multi 1: LBA48 NCQ (not used) I have not found, if this bug is patched in any linux kernel yet (I'm using 2.6.32-24 64-bit). -- hdd problems, failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550559 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
