http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14583 --- Comment #11 from Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> 2009-11-12 20:11:02 --- It looks like the device is buggy and fails from time to time without raising interrupt. libata waits till the timeout comes whenever that happens and thus the 30sec long stutters. This is basically caused by crappy hardware. The only workaround is to poll for the failure as irqpoll does. For now, I think you'll have to live with irqpoll. In the long run, we'll probably need to add automatic polling execution for the hardare. Can you please attach the output of "hdparm -I /dev/sda"?
