(The straced run didn't fail, unfortunately.) Those events seem rather suspicious. Hmm: [ 2.770959] ata2.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorp DVD+/-RW TS-U633A, D200, max UDMA/100, ATAPI AN Did libata report it was using ATAPI AN in 2.6.29? You could try bisecting to see if you can find which patch started triggering those spurious events.. -- 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
