           Summary: [Block layer or SCSI] requests aborted too early during
                    check_partition()
           Product: IO/Storage
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.28-rc
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: SCSI
        AssignedTo: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org
        ReportedBy: stefan-r-bz@s5r6.in-berlin.de

             nThis:
        Regression: 1


Latest working kernel version: 2.6.27.4
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.28-rc6  (I didn't test earlier -rcs yet)

Hardware Environment: OxSemi 912 and 92x based FireWire harddisks


See http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=122774022130397 --
Disks may still spin their motor up when the kernel attempts to read
partitions. In kernel 2.6.27, this was handled transparently.  But since
2.6.28-rc?, the kernel immediately aborts the associated requests and sets the
new scsi_device offline.
