I had repeated I/O-errors while having /home on the ssd, with kernel 2.6.32-tuxonice and 2.6.32-tuxonice-r1 ... now I use my hdd-based /home again and the errors are gone (so far, maybe the re-occur after sending this mail, you know ...). The home-related I/O-errors still happened after poweroff, the "fsck -f" showed no errors. example from /var/log/messages: Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x20 SErr 0x400100 action 0x6 frozen Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5: SError: { UnrecovData Handshk } Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5.00: cmd 61/08:28:38:d6:79/00:00:01:00:00/40 tag 5 ncq 4096 out Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: res 40/00:2c:38:d6:79/00:00:01:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5.00: status: { DRDY } Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5: hard resetting link Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133 Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5: EH complete Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x40000000 SErr 0x400100 action 0x6 frozen Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5: SError: { UnrecovData Handshk } Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5.00: cmd 61/d0:f0:b0:d3:d9/01:00:02:00:00/40 tag 30 ncq 237568 out Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: res 40/00:f4:b0:d3:d9/00:00:02:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5.00: status: { DRDY } Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5: hard resetting link Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133 Jan 18 18:49:24 hiro kernel: ata5: EH complete -- My root-fs is still on the ssd, root-fs AND home-fs are ext4 ...
