Comment 72 for bug 256637

Is this really a corner case bug or is it just the hardware?

I have had this happen to me with 3 different drives and the drives are brand new and they work fine otherwise.

I have checked the cabling and I have the locked SATAII cables. All the drives are SATAII and nothing in the system is 1.5Gbps. So, this is not a legacy drive phenomenon.

Could it be related to NCQ? When I saw these errors on a drive (which is the oldest of the 3), I disabled NCQ on it (set qdepth to 1) and I haven't seen this on that drive ever since.

Can other people having this issue try turning NCQ off and see if it goes away?
