Hi, I just set up a Ubuntu server with an mdadm software RAID 1 at home. I have two 1TB disks from Western Digital in /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. sdb is a disk I bought in September 2008, sdc is a new disk I bought last month (May 2009). The new disk works fine according to smartctl, the old disk seems to have some problems. What could be the cause of a PASSED test and the error messages below? I have found some information on problems with the early Green Power 1TB disks from WD. Is this possibly related?

The driver of the SATA controller probably does not support ATA pass-through and modifies the IDENTIFY sector to limit the reported features accordingly. Such an issue was already reported for the ITE8212 controller on Linux: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=gv1qvm%24q34%241%40ger.gmane.org&forum_name=smartmontools-support Cheers, Christian |

I assume this is the problem, when I get home I will try attaching it directly to the SATA controller on the motherboard. Thanks, Wolfey |
