OK, I have tried to bisect it (completely without -rt) and it breaks
completely somewhere on the outer limits of this bug. Unfortunately,
there was an unrelated libata bug which made it where 4 of my drives
were not recognized, and since the drive that has this general timeout
issue with linux is dedicated to an lvm I depend on those other drives
so I can mount the lvm so I can reproduce this bug.
What I do know:
Good: v2.6.25
Bad: pre v2.6.26-rc1 (9752082560b440e6a45624569d26802e20d1b8b4)
Please, How can I help further?
