I quess that's about the only hdparm option that I have never tried before. I'm really interested in hearing if that really fixes the problem for you and for good. The thing is that the machine with HPT374-chip is running as a server so I'm not very eager to use it as a test bed (unless it's absolutely necessary). Please, if it's possible for you, try to copy say two big files from one disk to another at the same time couple of times in order to see if your machine is able to handle it ... I have been able to run mine 2-3 days in the past without any problems if there are _no_ major disk transfers going on. The question of course is why does that hdparm option seem to fix the problem in this case ? Is it perhaps a bug in HPT374-driver or some lower IDE-layer ?

I'm sorry, I don't accept mails coming from dsl/cable/modem-pools due to high amount of spam. I will accept mails coming from your ISP's mail gateway though.
