Subject[PATCH 1/1] libata: blacklist NCQ on WDC WD740ADFD-00NLR4
Date
I've been seeing intermittent issues on my desktop (running 2.6.38.7) recently

Jan 16 20:54:08 gilraen kernel: ata5.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x807f SErr

Jan 16 20:54:08 gilraen kernel: ata5.00: status: { DRDY }

The disk is a WD Raptor WD740 which I noticed has NCQ blacklisted. The exact
model isn't present in the blacklist so I added it (patch below). The errors
then came out slightly differently

Jan 16 21:17:08 gilraen kernel: ata5.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr

Jan 16 21:17:08 gilraen kernel: ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133
Jan 16 21:17:08 gilraen kernel: ata5: EH complete

Googling revealed that this is often caused by faulty cabling. I moved the
power and SATA cables and the problem has now gone but I think the disk should
still be added to the blacklist,

Thanks
Simon
