Any ide driver error messages prior to those messages?
Nope. I have not seen any error messages coming from the driver.

Your hdparm and losetup examples used hda. Above info is for hd{e,f,g,h}
Well, the example with /dec/hda was just an example. Actually I have
hde,hdg,hdh in use (as you can see above).
I just tried to do some more tests with the partition with corrupt files
and I was really surprised that a file, which was corrupt (I couldn't
delete it as root or move/rename it) was okey and I could delete it. Now
another file was corrupt instead. What is going on here?! I have not
even touched the files since I wrote the mail to the mailing list, so
I'd suppose the same file, which was corrupt in the previous fsck would
be corrupt now as well. Any ideas or comments? Could it be a problem
with Reiserfs?
That sounds like some file metadata was corrupted while it was read from
disk platters to kernel ram. That bad metadata seemed to persist because
kernel cached that corrupted data. Eventually that cached data was dropped
because kernel needed that ram for something else. On new read from disk,
all went ok.
What does that mean exactly? Is it a problem with loop-AES, reiserfs or
something else? Is it a persistent problem or just something
temporarily? Is it connected to the corruptions I have noticed or is
this just something else?
Any chance you could test using ext3 file system?
I'm looking into this. I'll tell you as soon as I have tested it.
Best regards,
Tommy
