Hi,

I got this SATA EH reset on a disk part of RAID, and after recovery it got renamed
from /dev/sdd to /dev/sdj.  Would've been good if the original name was kept, as it'd have been easier to readd.
See below for the SATA link reset messages.
Don't know what that SError is, I've run a SMART short self-test and everything was good, no errors logged.

While running smartctl -t short I noticed another EH reset though, so could it be that these EH resets
occur when the drive is a bit busy with running its automatic SMART self-tests?
Apparently this was all due to a loose SATA cable (was plugged in only about 3/4),
plugged it in again, and its working now.

Best regards,
