ad10: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=11441599

[Mark Kane]

I've been having similar problems on 5.4-RELEASE. I have a brand new 
board back from the factory (a RMA) and had a thread going on 
freebsd-questions about this.

I currently have six Maxtor 7200RPM ATA133 hard drives that I've been 
trying on and off and with various configurations in my 5.4-RELEASE 
amd64 machine. The only thing I have done thus far to reproduce the READ 
and WRITE errors (there have been more WRITE than READ) is copy data 
between the drives. All the drives check out just fine through PowerMax 
(Maxtor's utility), and work in other FreeBSD 4.x machines in the same 
placement that causes errors on my 5.4 box. The cables are also brand new.

However, note that if I turn the drives speed down to UDMA100, the 
errors seem to go away. Has anyone else tried this for their problems?

I've read the entire thread and so far there has been no mention of any 
nForce chipsets doing this, but I've got a Giga-Byte K8NS Pro 
motherboard with a nForce3 chipset.

I've been troubleshooting this for almost two weeks now on my end, and 
up until last night I didn't see any "FAILURE" messages. They were all 
just WARNINGS. I've only seen the FAILURE on one of the six hard drives, 
and that was last night when I was trying to fdisk it. Right when I hit 
"w" to write the fdisk information my screen flooded with WARNINGS and 
FAILURES, so indeed that particular drive might be going. This problem 
did not happen with any of the other drives.

My whole reason for bringing back this thread is to see if my problems 
could be a result of the problem discussed here, and in fact is really 
not my hardware. As I said, the board is brand new, the cables are brand 
new, and two of the hard drives are even brand new. I've been pulling my 
hair out trying to narrow this problem down, and as of yesterday I was 
just going to run all my drives in UDMA100 mode to save me the hassle 
(since they seem to run fine in 100). Then, I found this thread and 
thought I'd ask if anyone here might think anything other than hardware 
problems.

Granted, I'm not using FreeBSD 5-STABLE, but I could certainly give it a 
shot if you guys think it would help anything. I just chose RELEASE 
hoping for the least problems.

My dmesg is below. Note that I only have three of the drives in there 
currently.

Thanks
