Hi,

The 2.5 inch Travelstar drive in my IBM Thinkpad started making
repetetive clunking noises yesterday, and at the same time, the
following appeared in the syslog:

Jun 24 19:11:12 t21eh kernel: [17184187.648000] hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x20
Jun 24 19:11:12 t21eh kernel: [17184187.648000] hda: DMA timeout retry

Jun 24 19:11:12 t21eh kernel: [17184192.652000] hda: drive not ready for command

Jun 24 19:11:13 t21eh kernel: [17184193.516000] ide0: reset: success
Jun 24 19:12:32 t21eh kernel: [17184272.452000] hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21

I've tried a few short tests and one long selftest using smartctl,
and they have all completed without error, however I've noticed
that according to the output, the "ATA error count" is 24539,
which seems very high to me.

Is is possible that either a kernel bug or driver/dma bug could
push the error count up so high (while, in fact, the drive is
still OK)? I ask because the simultaneous rt2500 entry in the
syslog is for a wireless card with known driver problems.

I've read some of Bruce's past posts about how SMART only catches
2/3 (two thirds) of hard drive failures - could this be somewhere
in the other third?

Here's the full output in case it helps:
