WD Red WD30EFRX 3TB not recognized by FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE

dvl@ · Feb 11, 2013

I'm having trouble with a recently purchased WD Red WD30EFRX 3TB. The motherboard is a SUPERMICRO MBD-X9SCL+-F.

The dmesg output is below. Note all the aprobe2 messages, and ATA Status Error.

Is this a dead drive? It seems that it should work out of the box.

Oh. If I change the drive to another port on the motherboard, I get:

Code:

i.e. it moves to ahcich1 from ahcich4...

That is very strange. The disk returns errors on commands that all disks produced in last 15 years should support. Can you try this patch:

Code:

If it help, send me full output of the `camcontrol identify adaX -v` for it and full result dmesg.

Hmmm, but:

Neither 1 or 2T Red drives require any special setup. Have not tried the 3T version, but that looks like a drive failure to me.

dvl@ · Feb 11, 2013

Drive failure was mentioned to me on Twitter as well.

Mav: I will have this drive for at least 5-6 hours if you're interested in any tests. Longer if you let me know.

wblock@ · Feb 11, 2013

It's worth trying it on a different controller or machine if possible.

dvl@ · Feb 11, 2013

Done that already. It started off on a different server, then moved to this one. I tried it on two Supermicro motherboards. On one, I also tried it with an LSI card, which grumbled greatly about that.

I have several WD30EFRX working without any problems, albeit on a different motherboard and I'm still running FreeBSD 9.1 RC2.

Thanks. I forgot to post this last night. A new WD30EFRX has arrived and was installed last night. It is working fine.

I'm intrigued that I can't duplicate your camcontrol command, but I should start a new thread for that.

dvl@ · Feb 13, 2013

The new thread is over here.

dvl@ · Feb 13, 2013

BTW, thanks all. I appreciate the help.

mav@ · Feb 15, 2013

That drive output looks just odd. It only reports its model and WWN and nothing more, even capacity. That could potentially be explained by "Power Up In Standby" feature activated, but it is not reported either.
