I agree it shouldn't be an xfs bug.  I thought it was strange, though,
that the problem only seemed to show up with xfs on 2.6.30.x.  IO
pattern sensitivity wouldn't surprise me, but I wanted to check all my
bases before giving up on the drive.

I've used mostly Samsung drives for several years.  This particular
750GB model is the only one that I consider a lemon.
