Hi,
We're using gmirror on our sun fire x2100 and FreeBSD 6.1-p10. Some days
ago I found this in the logs:
Apr 1 02:12:05 x2100 kernel: ad6: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error
(retrying request) LBA=612960533
Apr 1 02:12:05 x2100 kernel: ad6: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48

Normally it looks like a disk error, but I think our half year old disks
(WD RE2) shouldn't fail after this short time. Of course they have moving
parts so they MAY fail. :( Yesterday I tried to reinit the sata channel
and insert the disk back into the mirror. I got this:
Apr 3 23:00:32 x2100 kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad6
detected.
Apr 3 23:00:32 x2100 kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding

ad6.

Apr 3 23:00:38 x2100 kernel: ad6: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error

Apr 3 23:00:53 x2100 kernel: ad6: FAILURE - device detached
After this, the disk disappeared from the sata channel completely.
The wierd is that we used the onboard nvidia-raid and the very same error
occured, but there was no report in the kernel the machine just don't
asked for operating system. Later I found out that the disk was forgotten
~2 weeks before that reboot (data was ~2 week old on it). Otherwise that
"forgotten/failed" disk was also half year old and was fine without a
problem.
Is there anybody who experienced something similar with SUN X2100 or any
other servers running FreeBSD 6 and sata?

Hi,
I can confirm your problem. I have same problem on one X2100 but not on
the others. Currenty I have 4 X2100 machines, but only one with this
strange problem. The problem is not caused by HDD it self, I tried to
replace it with brand new and same error appears after few days. May be
there are some problems with cables / connectors or something on mainboard.
I am well known by problems with SATA(n) disk drives problems /
disappearing on this list and local (czech) mailing list. I had similar
problems on ASUS boards with Intel chipsets... so in my point of view -
there is something bad with SATA in general. I never had problem like
this with old good ATA drives.
I have not solution for this problem. Disk is OK after reboot for a few
dasy or weeks... if there is somebody which can help with investigating
this kind of problem, I'll be happy to cooperate.
output of dmesg, smartctl, gmirror etc.:

Just for the record - mine problem was fixed by SATA cable replacement.
Machine has uptime 227 days and no more disk errors.
