It would be very interesting to know if an older kernel doesn't trigger this.
I can keep running 2.6.16.41 for a few weeks. If the problem does not occur by then it is reasonably probably that it is newly introduced. As I said, I am not able to trigger the problem intentionally :(. Would it be possible for the kernel to realize that the drive stopped responding? And make sure that it doesn't make the whole computer unresponsive...
