I finally got around to testing 2.6.17.4 with libata-tj-stable-20060710. Hardware: ICH7R in ahci mode + WD5000YS's. EH: much, much better. Before the patch it seemed like errors were only printed to dmesg but never handed up to any layer above. Now md actually fails the disk when I pul

I'm (still) trying to setup a md array on the ICH7 SATA controller of an Intel SE7230NH1-E with 4 WD5000YS disks. On this controller (in ahci mode) I have not yet managed to get a disk mark as failed. - a bad cable just led to hangs and timeouts - pulling the power on one of the SATA drives (whi

Nope, EVMS is not the culprit. I installed the test system from scratch, EVMS nowhere in sight -- it now boots successfully from a partitionable md array, courtesty of a yaird-generated initrd I adapted for the purpose. Yay! Or not. I get the "md: md_d0 still in use." error again :( This is wit
