I'm getting the following messages for one of the 4 hard drives connected to a VM
Lost access to volume
4bcce772-3bfe7a35-dceb-001b21541d90 (1_5WD
1) due to connectivity issues. Recovery attempt
is in progress and outcome will be reported
shortly.

following connectivity issues.

This message will continue on and off throughout the day. Eventually it says Lost access and never restores access. When this happens that VM completely freezes and I cannot do anything with it (have to reboot ESXi at this point)
The hard drive in question is 1 of 3 hard drives connected to the VM for a storage pool (4th VM HDD is from datastore as system disk). Its always the same hard drive and the other 2 storage drives don't have an issue.
Is the hard drive going bad? HD test came up clean on that drive.
I'm at a complete loss why this one hard drive is continously having these issues. I tried to look at the hostd logs, but I'm having a hard time deciphering them (time seems to be off compared to whats showin in vShpere).
Did a search, but nothing came up in regards to my specific issue.
Info:
ESXi v4.0.0 Build 244038
