Hardware problems with intel DG33BU and 3 WD disks , SATA reset

[michaelvv]

Hi Proxmox...

I resently started to get problems with my proxmox installation with caused a kind
of SATA reset now and then... If i'm very unlucky once every week i lost the connection
totally to one of my SATA disk which are quite new 1 month....

My configuration is

SDA - WDC WD3200YS-01PGB0 - quite old
SDB - WDC WD2002FYPS-01U1B1 - new
SDC - WDC WD1002FBYS-02A6B0 - new

I have tried to set the drives on different ports but it didn't help....

The intel motherboard have the newest BIOS...

Hi Michael,
i don't have such a board, but "... Emask 0x409 (media error) <F>" sounds very bad!
I hope you have a good backup - you should change the disk and protect the data with an raid.

Hi Proxmox....

I think i found the problems... I have replaced my PSU with an Antec Earthwatts 380 W , and now my system
haven't make any of these errors in more than 24 hours..
If seems to be the problem...
