So you mean the freeze I am observing when I copy files from the sata disk to some ieee1394 device (they are sharing interrupt 16) 16: 430796 IO-APIC-level ide2, ide3, libata, ohci1394 leading to lots of output as... ata2: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/0c to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/00/00 ata2: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } ata2: error=0x0c { DriveStatusError } could be a cause of just that ? > > Possible libata/sata/Asus problem (was Re: Need to upgrade to latest > > stable mdadm version?) > > Highly likely to be a motherboard/BIOS issue related to properly tuning > and timing the hardware. > > HOWEVER, libata can help (via Tejun's recent patches) by properly > handling the error when throw to us by hardware. So it could help in the first case but also with this: I can freeze the system bei hdparm -y /dev/sda ... will this patch also help in that case ?
