Subject: Re: Slow disks.
Unquoted text below is from either me or from my friend.
Someone suggested we try an older kernel as if kernel 2.6.32 would not
have this problem. We do NOT think it suddenly started with a certain
kernel version. I was just hoping to have you kernel-guys help with
prodding the kernel into revealing which component was screwing things
up....

Yes I did. The disks were installed in a MSI/Core2DUO based desktop
system. No problems at all. Transfer rates up to 200MB/s.
The SIL 3114 chip is 1.5Gbps SATA. .
Searching for information on the WD drives I stumbled across:
http://community.wdc.com/t5/Other-Internal-Drives/1-TB-WD10EARS-desynch-issues-in-RAID/m-p/11559
Where it seems that WD simply says not to use these drives in a RAID.
I have experience with "Raid Edition" drives: They go bad at a MUCH
too high rate. If we can't use the non-raid for a RAID application, then
there is just ONE possible option: STAY AWAY FROM WESTERN DIGITAL:
Western digital claims it has the right to mess things up if you put a
non-raid drive in a raid configuration. Well fine. Then they can also
mess things up in normal situations because when Linux does software
raid there isn't any difference from RAID accesses.
(if you click through and read their entry in the knowledge base,
you'd notice that it should be more or less the other way
around. Linux will drop the RAID-enabled drive from the RAID within
seven seconds and reporting error on a sector, whereas the desktop
drive would remain operational until Linux times out (30 seconds?))
More hardware info:
System: Supermicro PDSMi, 4xDDR2 1GB, disks and controllers as above.
Current kernel version: 2.6.36.2
Problem was also present in kernel 2.6.33 (sorry cannot downgrade again.
This is a production system...)

Because of the severity of the problems (which remain after trying
another sata card), I have already bought a new Supermicro server. Let's
hope that helps.
