Hi, given that you say these sympoms appear and disappear, the first
and easy thing
I would try, is to re-seat (ie disconnect and reconnect) every SATA
connector.
Particularly device ata5 and whatever device is backing dm-0.
.
And, strange as it sounds, replace any "hot red" aka "magenta" sata
cable with some other color. I am a CET and known to me since the
1970's, that color of insulation dye will in time, convert the copper of
the conductor into a rust colored powder, and that is a poor conductor.
Its cheap, and it may not fix the problem, but its first by a large
margin in a long list of likely culprits.
Test by opening a terminal and putting a tail -fn50 /var/log/syslog, get
where you can see the screen, and the opened computer and touch/move
slightly, the middle of all sata cables with a lead pencil, move it half
an inch or so, if the log blows up with errors, that cable is burnt
toast, replace it.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
