I was rsync'ing data from one system to another, and the recipient
suddenly started throwing DRDY errors. Now, it's a fairly new WD Red 3TB,
and I'd think it was just a bad drive... but I'm really confused by
this,
from the logs:
Jun 15 15:34:43 <servername> kernel: ata3: SError: { Dispar }
Dispar? And googling, every reference I find to that word always has
something else there.
System's running 5.11. Filesystem's xfs.
Any thoughts?

"kernel: ata3: SError: { Dispar }" Regardless, it's an interface error (ata)... https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_error_messages

It's something to consider... but I can't do that easily. This is a server that's been running for years, and is in use, and it's a hot-swap bay. mark
