[NTLUG:Discuss] Disk Errors

[George E. Lass]

I am starting to see the following disk errors on my
RedHat 5.2 box:

Apr 17 04:02:12 ks kernel: hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Apr 17 04:02:12 ks kernel: hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE
Apr 17 04:02:12 ks kernel: ide0: reset: success

Here is my hard drive info:

Apr 16 19:21:13 ks kernel: hda: ST36421A, 6150MB w/256kB Cache,
CHS=784/255/63

I'm guessing that the drive is starting to go south, but
can anyone fill me in on the details of the error messages?
Specifically what is a DRQ ?

Thanks,

George
