Can you find time to try it without smartd active ? You report running a uni-processor system, and I have only seen PIO problems with (fast) SMP systems in my testing, but I am forming the opinion that libata-PIO functions are in need of a minor overhaul. I have seen issues where port activity monopolised data-paths/arbitration inside chipsets such that the PIO operations would appear to time out. Since you're doing a raid rebuild, perhaps the I/O load is causing something similar to occur. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andy Warner Voice: (612) 801-8549 Fax: (208) 575-5634 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
