Hello, Mattieu Fluhr.

Please note that:
- it is not chipset dependant (tested on nforce4 and sii3114)
- it is not medium or device dependant

Hmmm... Interesting. So, you're reading the media by directly issuing commands through the sg interface, right? Can you please try the followings?

* Try using /dev/srX or /dev/scdX device instead of /dev/sgX. You can use the command SG_IO but the code path is different, so it will help us rule out sg bug.

* Perform rounds of read-verify test using standard block interface (ie. simply opening /dev/srX and reading it).

- When I force the bus type to be IDE, our software will then send ATA
commands. In this case, everything works like a charm. No errors at all.

What do you mean by 'sending ATA commands'? libata exports all devices as SCSI devices. For ATA devices, you can use ATA passthrough but you send CDBs to ATAPI devices anyway.

Thanks.
