[nycbug-talk] hard error reading fsbn...

[Charles Sprickman]

Hi,

I thought I'd try here as this always gets mixed results on the FreeBSD 
lists.

I've got a 5 or 6 month old IDE drive in a spamass server that has started 
spitting this type of stuff out:

ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 4156992 (ad0s1 bn 4156992; cn 4124 tn 0 sn 
0) status=59 error=40
ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 4156992 (ad0s1 bn 4156992; cn 4124 tn 0 sn 
0) status=59 error=40
ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 4156992 (ad0s1 bn 4156992; cn 4124 tn 0 sn 
0) status=59 error=40
ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 12055631 of 3406344-3406366 (ad0s1 bn 
12055631; cn 11959 tn 15 sn 14) status=59 error=40
ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 13547159 of 4152108-4152112 (ad0s1 bn 
13547159; cn 13439 tn 10 sn 17) status=59 error=40

I'm thinking this is probably not a cabling issue (one drive on one good 
ATA-133 cable) since it's not doing the "falling back to PIO mode" or 
"resetting devices" which I've seen on other borderline failures.

Does anyone know specifically what "status=59 error=40" might be trying to 
tell me?

Thanks,

Charles
