Comment 107 for bug 84603

It is really pain for me,

I have two disks, first one is ATA , 10GB, loaded with OS, running fine.

Second one is SATA, 500GB, this is for all my files, media etc. This disk
keep freezing and it is really annoying when I try to download some file
from internet or my mythtv automatic recording, watching tv etc.

I will be glad if some one tells me how to restore drive back online without
rebooting my machine. dmesg logs attached.
