How can I tell which ata device is which hard drive? It's come up several times for me, most recently with ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen
It appears from other info that sdb is the problem: <terminal> # smartctl -H /dev/sdb Sun Jul 3 10:26:29 PDT 2011 smartctl version 5.38 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Short INQUIRY response, skip product id A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. </terminal> but I'd like to know how to do this in general. I'd also welcome advice about the disk problems, but I was hoping to raise the odds of an answer by keeping it simple :) sdb has had hardware problems for awhile; it wouldn't be surprising if it's failed. Running lenny with linux 2.6.26-2-686. Thanks. Ross -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
