Hi Tejun, have you received my email? Any suggestion? Are you working on

Hello, Kacer.
Yeap, I did received your message and forgot to reply. :-p Anyways,
currently there isn't any sil3112 errata applicable to your case.
Hardware problem (cabling, power fluctation, whatever) is also a
possibility.
The problem is that currently libata EH doesn't do whole lot of recovery
actions. libata is likely to fail to recover device after a transitional
transmission error. EH work is in progress and hopefully it will see the
light of day soon.
One way to confirm that your machine is experiencing transitional
transmission errors is to test your drive under Windows. Put drives
under heavy IO in Windows and watch the transfer rate (Windows has
system monitoring utility which shows disk activities as graph. I don't
remember what it was though.) and if your machine suffers the same
problem under Windows driver, it will show occasional drops (transfer
rate stalls to zero for quite some seconds) when such problems occur.
Hope it helped.
