[gentoo-user] SATA raptor failure - why?

[CapSel]

Hi all,
I have sata disk sda connected to ICH7 (ata_piix). Everything worked
fine until I saw these error messages:
May 24 23:31:43 foo ata1: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0xd1 host_stat 0x21
May 24 23:31:43 foo ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0xd1/00 to SCSI
SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/47/00
May 24 23:31:43 foo ata1: status=0xd1 { Busy }
May 24 23:31:43 foo sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x8000002
May 24 23:31:43 foo sda: Current: sense key=0xb
May 24 23:31:43 foo ASC=0x47 ASCQ=0x0
May 24 23:31:43 foo end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 17059167
May 24 23:31:43 foo ATA: abnormal status 0xD1 on port 0xB807
May 24 23:31:43 foo ATA: abnormal status 0xD1 on port 0xB807
May 24 23:31:43 foo ATA: abnormal status 0xD1 on port 0xB807

...and it began to show in dmesg every about 5 seconds and FS on it
stopped responding.
Is this disk error, controler error?

Every time I reboot it I get these messages:
May 24 23:31:43 foo ata1: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0xd1 host_stat 0x21
May 24 23:31:43 foo ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0xd1/00 to SCSI
SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/47/00
May 24 23:31:43 foo ata1: status=0xd1 { Busy }
May 24 23:31:43 foo sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x8000002
May 24 23:31:43 foo sda: Current: sense key=0xb
May 24 23:31:43 foo ASC=0x47 ASCQ=0x0
May 24 23:31:43 foo end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 17059167
May 24 23:31:43 foo ATA: abnormal status 0xD1 on port 0xB807
May 24 23:31:43 foo ATA: abnormal status 0xD1 on port 0xB807
May 24 23:31:43 foo ATA: abnormal status 0xD1 on port 0xB807

This disk is heavely loaded by mysql.

...so what does these messages mean, how to avoid them and the failure?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Make a backup.  Now.

When you start seeing 'end_request: I/O error', it's always (in my 
experience) been a sign of a disk getting ready to pack it in.

Double check physical connections, make sure no wires are loose; if 
S.M.A.R.T. is available, check its status - but I highly doubt a 
software issue here.

Unfortunately smartmontools does not support SATA disks. Is there any
other tool to check S.M.A.R.T. on this kind of disks?

More exactly:

"Smartmontools should work correctly with SATA drives under both
Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, if you use the standard IDE drivers
in drivers/ide. If you use the new libata drivers, it won't work
correctly because libata doesn't yet support the needed
ATA-passthrough ioctl() calls." (smartmontools.sourceforge.net)

smartmontools does in fact support SATA disks starting with kernel 2.6.15.

Use the '-d ata' argument with SATA disks and it will work fine.

For example: # smartmontools -d ata -a /dev/sda

How to set up a SATA disk to be seen as IDE disk to the kernel?
Can this be done by adding something to kernel command line in grub? I
used genkernel to compile kernel.

These are supported by libata as of kernel 2.6.15
