I am completely new to the ins and outs of linux. I am trying to check my drives by running an exerciser software, blast, that checks the read and write capabilities. I run write verify loop on the drives with max data of 200 bytes and 2 iterations. Frustratingly I keep on running into this error for certain specific drives /dev/sdh and /dev/sdi where it shows an error:
Error code 5 detected on /dev/sdh/ EIO I/O Error When I run fdisk -l. The drives mention above does not even show. It goes from /dev/sdg to /dev/sdj. Is there anything I can do to fix this or some other commands I can run or things I can read/learn so I can do some further investigating.

Check the output ofdmesgfor errors related to those disks; the outputs oflsblkand/orlsscsimay help in identifying the disks in question, possibly by exclusion.smartctl -a /dev/sdhandsmartctl -a /dev/sdimight be informative too.blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdi, sector 0 Buffer I/O error on dev sdi, logical block 0, async page read sd 1:0:7:0: [sdi] FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE sd 1:0:7:0: [sdi] Sense Key : Aborted Command [current] [descriptor] sd 1:0:7:0: [sdi] Add.
