During heavy disk activity, such as performing an fsck I've run into the kernel messages: wd1: interrupt timeout: wd1: status 50<rdy,seekdone> error 1<no_dam> wd1: wdtimeout() DMA status 4 I looked at the mail archives, and noticed some suggest that this is due to a disk spindown. My question is, how does the disk spindown during an fsck? Maybe I'm just completely ignorant here, but I can't see a logical reason for it to do this under constant disk activity. Could the messages be caused by bad disk blocks? Just looking for an alternate explanation here..
