One of my CentOS boxes has started giving me errors. The box is CentOS-4.4 (i386) fully updated. It has a pair of SATA drives in a software raid 1 configuration.
The errors I see are:
ata1: command 0xca timeout, stat 0x50 host_stat 0x24 ata1: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } Info fld=0x1e22b8, Current sda: sense key No Sense ata2: command 0xca timeout, stat 0x50 host_stat 0x24 ata2: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } Info fld=0x1e2598, Current sdb: sense key No Sense
If it was just coming from one drive, I would say it was a bad drive, but this is happening on both drives.
Can anyone give me a starting place to diagnose this?
Thanks.

Cables? Connections? Power supply going bad?
This can be caused by overheating. If the drives are mounted close together as some chassis configurations permit, then it make sense they may both exhibit the same problem, but not necessarily simultaneously.
Are this log entries adjacent to each other?

The ideal should be to use the SmartTools utilities, but, if I'm right, there're problems with SATA support.
At least, you can boot with liveCD-util (like UltimateBootCD, for example) and check the HD integrity.

smartctl on CentOS >= 4.3, supports SATA just fine.

why not use the CentOS-4 LiveCD ?

Great notice for me! Thanks for info: last time I used smartctl SATA was only supported after apply a specific kernel patch.

Yes, why not. I supose everybody has their own habits (I use frequently UltimateBootCD to diagnosis hardware).
Althought, I'll try CentOS-4 LiveCD, of course. ;)
