I found out about the scsi_debug module that allows creating virtual scsi devices with various sector sizes. I've been able to reproduce the problems (with some difficulty). I did find manage to find one issue with my patch, which I didn't expect to actually be the cause of the apparent memory corruptions, but I've been torturing my new build for over 12 hours and haven't been able to produce any problems. I've put a new build up; please test and see whether the crashes are gone with this build. Previous warnings about data loss still apply. Thanks!
