Hello,

 

I'm helping a friend rebuild his UNRAID system and we just put a brand new 2 TB HDD (ST2000DL003) for the parity drive.  I just kicked off the parity-sync and its running fine and I see no errors on the Web interface.  However in the /var/log/syslog I'm getting the following message every 30 seconds or so:

 

Apr 13 18:24:19 manuel-nas kernel: ata5: irq_stat 0x00400000, PHY RDY changed

Apr 13 18:24:19 manuel-nas kernel: ata5: SError: { PHYRdyChg }

Apr 13 18:24:24 manuel-nas kernel: ata5: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x10000 action 0xe frozen

 

I'm using a total of six SATA ports connected to the onboard controller of the ASUS P5B motherboard.  I have it in AHCI mode within the BIOS.  The motherboard support up to SATA 3.0 Gb/s. 

 

Does anyone have any ideas of what might be causing this?  I've also attached the entire syslog for reference.

 

Thanks,

Scott

Just a quick update, the parity is at 5.7% and I'm no longer seeing these errors.  The errors where coming from the brand new parity drive but stopped.  Weird. ;-(

Did you pre-clear the disk?

Nope, I basically just took it out of the packaging hooked it up.  Assigned it as the parity drive.  Click the button to start the parity-sync.  The error went away and haven't came back and I'm 44% done with the parity sync.
