Speaking of bigfoots... Just to add info to this topic. I run an ftp
server based on 7 IDE bigfoot drives (four 6GB, three 12GB) via a Promise
IDE PCI controller *plus* one SCSI drive via an adaptec. I am using
2.0.33 (w/Promise IDE patch). DMA defaults to on or off for IDE depending
on the drive, it seems. In the past, I have encountered corruption
problems on the bigfoots every so often, but they are always accompanied
by various error messages to syslog. I don't know if they are caused by
the default DMA settings, or if it's a physical drive problem. (Usually,
the drive just starts misbhaving and later won't even format under DOS)
For example, right now I'm seeing messages such as:
Jul 30 13:07:03 bigfoot kernel: hdh: status error: status=0x7f {
DriveReady DeviceFault SeekComplete DataRequest CorrectedError Index Error }
Jul 30 13:07:03 bigfoot kernel: hdh: status error: error=0x7f {
UncorrectableError SectorIdNotFound DriveStatusError TrackZeroNotFound AddrMarkNotFound },
LBAsect=268435455, sector=7138632
Jul 30 13:07:03 bigfoot kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 22:42, sector
7138632
Jul 30 13:07:03 bigfoot kernel: hdh: drive not ready for command
Jul 30 13:07:03 bigfoot kernel: hdh: status error: status=0xff { Busy }
Jul 30 13:07:03 bigfoot kernel: hdh: drive not ready for command
Jul 30 13:07:08 bigfoot kernel: ide3: reset: success
Often, the end result is a dead drive which I have to return to Quantum to
get repaired under warranty. BTW, hdh has DMA off.
An output of hdparam and /proc/pci on my 7 drives is attached here:
