Can you please keep the system running for a whlie and see > whether the problem occurs? I haven't seen the error happen yet with 2.6.27-rc6-git3, so that off by one bug might have had an incidence. No warranty on that as I did also slightly change power-saving settings for the disk around the time I updated kernel (-B254, -S241 parameters to hdparm) and have not seen the error yet on 2.6.27-rc5-git9 since then. Will do more testing as time permits over the next days and report if I find anything that looks useful (e.g. better way than time to trigger the error or some of the hdparm options influencing the probability) In case there is a patch that would eventually be able to get more info when the error occurs I would be happy to apply it.
