Bug#549647: "hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21" errors
Hi Ben, why you say that the hd is failing? Smartctl doesn't agree with you:
> proDFS:~# smartctl -H /dev/hda
> smartctl version 5.38 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen

> === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
> SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
Perhaps you have reason but I would like to know how you can affirm that.
Furthermore I can't understand why if I set dma (hdparm -d1 /dev/hda)
on, the dma is on even after a reboot; and why if I shut down the pc
when I power up again the dma is off again... your conclusion is the hd
is failing?
Any way thank you very much
Piviul
