Re: PDC sata timeouts.

Have eliminated the motherboard and controller too.

Since I have two identical machines running with 80s working fine.
And I tried two identical motherboards, and two identical controllers,
with these drives.

So, I'm pretty sure it must be either the driver or the drives.

I could try the SATA on the board, but, the DMA stuff doesn't work
and it'll be quite slow, I'll only be able to get back to you in a few
hours about how that goes.

I did run dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/wd2d and of=/dev/wd3d, both the drives
on the PDCSATA controller, I got no problems, will look into PC doctor.

I only seem to encounter problems with a RAID reconstruction to the second
drive. So, it only seems to happen when I read data from one drive and write
it to another in quick succession.

But you guys are the experts. Thank you in advance.
