THis is rather deadly. Is it likely to be a 1394 bug, or scsi?
I am not sure.

Note: RBC (reduced block command set) handling, which affects the
"asking for cache data" and is applicable to most FireWire harddisks,
was moved out of sbp2 into sd_mod (?) some time ago, then temporarily
back into sbp2 again due to bugs and incompatibilities of the new RBC
handling. We are about to free sbp2 of RBC handling again RSN. (We need
to test it more, plus to push the proper patches to -mm for more exposure.)
I have one Initio based 2.5" disk myself which reacted really nasty when
the RBC handling changes were introduced. The bridge's firmware seems to
be quite quirky. I think the RBC code in sd_mod (?) has become a bit
more robust since, but I did not touch that Initio based disk recently.
Will test RSN.
