Comment 4 Nicolas Mailhot 2006-12-14 15:24:50 UTC
BTW two of the four disks hang from SiI 3114 so the sata_nv ADMA are not
responsible for hddtemp problems
Comment 5 Alistair Strachan 2006-12-18 17:20:57 UTC
I see this too, in 2.6.20-rc1. I'm fairly sure the problem is caused in 
mainline by 0e75f9063f5c55fb0b0b546a7c356f8ec186825e ("support larger block pc 
requests") and it isn't fixed by 77d172ce ("[PATCH] fix SG_IO bio leak").

I think SATA is off the hook. Works in 2.6.19, but not in 
2.6.19+0e75f9063f5c55fb0b0b546a7c356f8ec186825e.

I can reproduce this now, am looking at fixing it.

Patch for hddtemp

hddtemp includes fragile and wrong sense checks, remove those.
