There is something going on clearly but it doesn't appear to be the drive but rather that the I/O patterns with NCQ (maybe the better performance) are messing something else up. Needs further exploration to see if this is vm, I/O scheduling or our current libata lack of protection against drive firmware unfairness (as the SCSI layer has) -- 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
