[SOLVED] general device failure
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


See User information
Hi All,
I am using latest SFS (1.279) on my A1 and I am getting error messages like this one regularly now, when downloading 30Mo of zip archives :

"Volume 'Docs' (Docs: sii0680ide.device, unit 0)

there was an error while accessing this volume:

general device failure.
The disk is in an unreadable format.

errorcode = 20
io_command = 4
io_offset = -502986240
io_length = 0
io_actual = 7"

Is my HD dying ? when using partition wizard, the check says OK.

Dowload and try smartmontools to see if there's something:

smartctl -a a1ide.device:0
for help:
smartctl -h

(obviously replace the device name to match your sii card)

Edit: I couldn't initiate self diagnostics with smartctl though

As far as I could read (non-tabulated output is hard to read): the hardware reports itself healthy.

using SFS on classic and the A1 I get similair errors from time to time... I think it is the nature of the beast... I reset each time and to no ill effect...

I look upon it as a clitch in combinations of software and ghost code lol...

not unlike the friendly guru of yesterday...

to remark about it now though I have not experienced anything of this nature for a few months... I did double my buffers on all my partitions though... no idea if that matters... some run 2048 and a few are sporting 4096

adios!

Is my HD dying ?
Could be. Or a bad cable or anything else. Unfortunately sii0680ide.device returns error code 20 for everything and without additional information it's impossible to know what the actual problem was. When it happens again check if there is debug output from it with "C:DumpDebugBuffer >ram:debugoutput", but it could be that the device drivers only print something if the debuglevel (os4_commandline) isn't 0.

@joerg

you were right about the bad cable : I recently made some changes in my configuration (move HD and DVD) and only after this change I got this error !

Now with another cable, problem seems to be gone -> thanks !

I urge everyone getting the same error to test with another cable...
