Disabling the standby timer "solves" the problem. But the documentation of smartd states, that it should be able to work with drives in standby. So either this doesn't work with netbsd or it just doesn't work with ahcisata. Another thing: My previous system had drives on a piixide and when the drives woke up from standby, the kernel did not log a error message. Now I get errors like these from time to time:On Mon, Jan 04, 2010 at 07:10:06PM +0000, Matthias Pfaller wrote:I have installed a kernel with this patch, but I can't reboot at the moment. I have an "atactl setstandby 3600" in my /etc/rc.local, so maybe the drives are in standby, when the error occurs.Yes, that could explain it. Not sure if the self test can be run when the drive is in standby mode. If the patch doesn't help, can you see if disabling the standby timer solves the problem ?
