I switched the drive to pio mode, which stopped the error messages, but a couple weeks later the drive died completely (won't even spin up). I'd say that if anyone is seeing WRITE command timeout errors it might be a good time to stick the drive in pio mode and make a backup "just in case". ;-) Thierry.Herbelot@alcatel.fr wrote: > > Hello, > > I also have seen it with 4.1-R and 4.1.1-R with a BX motherboard : in my case, it's most likely > due to bad hard disks (which the ata(4) driver is using with all performance options "ON") > > TfH > > Grigoriy Strokin on 24/11/2000 08:37:08 > > > > To: "Corey G." > > cc: Michael , > freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG(bcc: Thierry > HERBELOT/FR/ALCATEL) > > > > Subject: Re: ata0 problems > > > I haven't tried FreeBSD 4.2 yet, but I had > this problem in 4.0 and 4.1, and described > it in http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=17643. > > The problem report has been recently closed > with the reason: > Problems with the VIA 586 chipset should be fixed in 4.2 and later > > So it seems it should be re-opened? > > On Thu, Nov 23, 2000 at 07:24:01PM -0600, Corey G. wrote: > > I saw the same error tonight.
