Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

hi,

we are using gutsy gibbon (up-to-date) and are experiencing ncq problems
with western digital WD800ADFS (Raptor, OEM version) drives, since ncq is
enabled by default and the WD740ADFD is already blacklisted, i kindly ask
you to also add the WDC WD800ADFS-07SLR4 to the libata ncq blacklist.

see also this bug report: #131633 in linux-source-2.6.22 ("spurious completions during NCQ")

fyi, i also posted this to lkml: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119127129831497&w=2

(please cc me, as i´m not subscribed to linux-kernel/ide - thanks)

hi,

we have some Fujitsu Siemens Celsius M450 workstations (Intel 975X Express chipset)
running Linux Kernel 2.6.22 (Debian, Ubuntu) on an md raid 1 using two Western Digital
Raptor drives, it´s the WD800ADFS which is an oem version (you will find them in
workstations from HP, IBM, Dell, Fujitsu-Siemens,... and they have different model
numbers) using ahci and ncq we are experiencing low performace, and many
hsm violations, sometimes also timeouts, so i think this drive should be added
to the libata ncq blacklist, as the WD740ADFD is already blacklisted and the
Raptor series generally seems to have some ncq issues...

kind regards,
simon.

Hi all!

Same problem with an hitachi HD.

I posted the problem on lkml and the disk was blacklisted:

Hi I have same problem in Hardy with WDC WD1500ADFD

I find this guide: http://inferno.slug.org/cgi-bin/wiki?action=browse&id=Western_Digital_NCQ
and its works.

Can you add that patch to Hardy?

Many thanks, Olli

Sorry.

Row has to be:

{ "WDC WD1500ADFD-00NLR5", NULL, ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ },

I just build kernel with that and it really disable NCQ. Now my hard disk is very fast.

So can you add that patch to Hardy kernel?

Just adding a note that I'm reassigning the Ubuntu Hardy kernel source package from 'linux-source-2.6.24' to just 'linux'. Beginning with the Hardy release the package naming convention changed from linux-source-2.6.x to just linux. Sorry for any confusion.

Hi all,

I need to disappoint some of you:
Dell Vostro 1700 with a Seagate ST980813ASG

Suggested fix in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingUbuntuOnADellVostro1700 was to turn off NCQ by piping "1" into /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth

I did this.

Also I upgraded to 2.6.24 as explained here: http://axebase.net/blog/?p=178 (uses a script "hardy.py")
> uname -a
> Linux vostroxx 2.6.24-8-generic #1 SMP Thu Feb 14 20:40:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

The problem first occurred to be gone but after about half an hour of working it appeared again (see below).

What should I do now? I remember to see a patch where NCQ was turned off for ST980813AS in the kernel 2.6.24. But I do have a "ST980813ASG" (note the appended "G"). But then, I have turned off NCQ anyway by piping "1" into /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth, didn't I?

Do I (and others) experience a wholly different problem here?

$hdaparm /dev/sda
/dev/sda:

16-bit)
 HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
 HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
 HDIO_GET_KEEPSETTINGS failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Is this the same bug? should i file another one?
