Care to post the result of 'smartctl -d > ata -a /dev/sdX' and test other drives? I tried another disk (but of the same type), and got the same results both direct and via PMP. Are these disks too old to be hot-plugged? (but I recall the identical errors happening on boot after I power-cycled the enclosure and the host...)

Let me know if I can test anything else.... different versions, etc. I'll buy a new disk this weekend and try that out as well. - Brad - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
