Hi. I have a strong problem with my server, and I think it depends from SATA
disk or SATA controller or SATA cable or other thing in this way. Now I
will describe my hardware and than what problem happens.

== HARDWARE ==
- Mother board SuperMicro X6DAi-G2
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon800/E7525/X6DAi-G2.cfm
- 2x CPU XEON Dual Core 2.8Ghz
- 4GB RAM KingStone
- 6 x Disk SATA Maxtor 300GB
- PCI Serial ATA Controller (4 port) ChipSet SiI 3114
- VGA Asus (nVidia) N6200TC

Machine have 2 raid software.
- md0 is RAID 0 (5 disk + 1 spare) 28 GiB
- md1 is RAID 5 (5 disk + 1 spare) 789 GiB

== PROBLEM ==
On this machine I have installed RedHad and recently Debian Sarge with kernel
2.6 smp, but for my problem distro or kernel appears no different. After small
uptime - approximately 10-14 days - machine freeze and tty1 said:

* ata1: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0xd0 host_stat 0x61
* scsi0: error on channel 0, id 1, lun 0, CDB: write (10) 00 03 7d fe bf 00 \\
* 00 08 00
* current sdb: sense key Medium error Additional sense: write error - auto \\
* reallocation failed
* end_request: i/o error, dev sdb, sector 5858863
* ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0x1F7

No errors are reported into syslog. Local or remote login are disabled, but
machine reply to ping message.

In past months I have replaced SATA cable, sdb and PCI controller, operative
system and kernel, but situation is not change. Now I think that the problem
lives on mother board controller or in bios configurations or in exotic magic
bad lucky.

Can you (or someone) help me?

Could it be the disks themselves?

Please post the following output:

smartctl -d -a /dev/sda

Where sda represents the disk(s) in question.
