RE: [cobalt-users] hda errors

["Edward R. Milstein" <eddie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This means what it says.  The driver was trying to deliver a disk
command and the disk controller was not responding...  Seeing these once
and a while (especially if the system is busy) is not a big deal..

The cases where seeing these errors is a problem is because the disk is
busy for some failure reason.  An example is the disk re-reading a
sector over and over that is failing it's CRC check.

The good thing here is the driver sent a reset and the controller
accepted it and responded appropriately...

This is not a cobalt specific answer so a cobalt engineer might give a
better answer.  My answer deals with the more generic case of seeing
these types of errors..

Have you been seeing a load of these or just a few cases spread out over
time???
