Hi,

This can be a hardware problem - hard to say. For some reason on one
of the disks smart test is interrupted

# 1  Extended offline    Interrupted (host reset)      90%     12489         -
# 2  Extended offline    Interrupted (host reset)      90%     12484         -


I see this in dmesg

[ 4328.800100] ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen

I'm using 2.6.37.2 with config based on an old rawhide 2.6.37. I have
not noticed other problems with this disc. What might be causing this
interrupts?
