Hi specialists crew,
first of all I really hope, that I'm in the right section of the forum. Otherwise could you correct me, and then thanks and sorry for that
I have a strange problem to which I have not found any comments or solutions anywhere (google). So I really hope you can help me with this.
I have a netbook (Acer AO531h) on which I am running Debian Squeeze:
uname -r
Then I have a Raidsonic USB external case for two SATA Disks IB-2221StU-B. There are two Western Digital 640GB (I can get the types if of concern).
fdisk -l
Code:
...
Disk /dev/sdd: 640.1 GB, 640135028736 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77825 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xdedc1dd2
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 1 77825 625129281 fd Linux raid autodetect
Disk /dev/sde: 640.1 GB, 640135028736 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77825 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x28c2a7e0
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sde1 1 77825 625129281 fd Linux raid autodetect
They are already formatted as raid1 and filled with data (on Truecrypt drive). Then I start it for example with:
mdadm --assemble --scan
Here is my problem:
As soon as I am using the drive (more or less excessively) for a long time (for example the resync which it will do once) it will suddenly change those two disks from /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc to /dev/sdd and /dev/sde, somehow similar to what happens when disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. That happens always.

I don't know exactly how to read this things, thats why you get such a dump, sorry very much for that..
I am only running mdadm, apache, php, samba and truecrypt, not really anything else.
What I found out until now:
- it's not the harddisk sleep or idle mode since it happens while using it.
- it's probably not the external case, since it workes without issues on other computers (Debian Squeeze, any kernel).
- it's probably the netbook, since before I had another Debian Squeeze in VMware Player 3 on Windows XP host and I had exactly the same problem.
- it has nothing to do with Truecrypt since it also happens when not mounted, but testing for example with badblocks (array or single drives).
- it has probably nothing to do with CPU load, since it was always quite idle.
- there is also no problem if I do the same tests on a normal external single-harddrive or flash drive hooked via USB.
Suspects:
- Netbook chipset, chipset of external case
Is there anything I can do about this?
Thank you very much in advance!
