I just got a drive bumped out of one of my RAID5 arrays with the
following error:
hdf: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdf: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=70031146,
sector=28995464
end_request: I/O error, dev 21:44 (hdf), sector 28995464
I'd normally put it up to bad hardware or a dying drive as this is
usually the cause, but this is a brand new from the manufacture so I'm a
bit wary. Also the drive that was on here before failed in a similar
fashion.
I'm about to put gentoo on this box and I want to make sure that these
problems don't follow me. Is there some way to test the drive?
I was thinking that
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdX bs=512
might do it, but any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
