Robert and Jeff already know about these, but I thought I'd send out a reminder. ata2: EH in ADMA mode, notifier 0x0 notifier_error 0x0 gen_ctl 0x1501000 status 0x500 next cpb count 0x0 next cpb idx 0x0 ata2: CPB 0: ctl_flags 0xd, resp_flags 0x1 ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen ata2.00: cmd 35/00:30:b5:c1:8f/00:01:01:00:00/e0 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 155648 out res 40/00:00:01:4f:c2/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata2: soft resetting port ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata2.00: configured for UDMA/133 ata2: EH complete SCSI device sdb: 488397168 512-byte hdwr sectors (250059 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off sdb: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sdb: write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA They didn't happen (or didn't happen as frequently) in 2.6.20; it's a serious bug.
