Is there a recognizable symptom (other than it broke)
Also I have an Ingo project - Ingo can you write a PCI bus speed measurer for the kernel - is it possible.
The first thing both WDC and Quantum told me when poking about these reports was 'if you have 75/83Mhz set check your motherboard PCI bus is set to 33MHz properly'.
My ASUS SP97XV arrived with me with the PCI bus at 37.5Mhz so this occurs.
I'd say the starting blacklist should be
WDC AC22100H WDC AC36400L [also 'it work fine' reports too 8)]
[maybe some firmware revs only ?]
FUJITSU M1638TAU (2 times)
Quantum Fireball ST (2 times, both with other drives) on the cable also seeing problems. Other drive was 'unknown' in one case '1.6 gig WD' in the other
That covers about 40% of the reports - it also and I never noticed it before covers 90% of the uniprocessor cases.
Ok Linus - I'd say there's an SMP bug somewhere maybe, but the uniprocessor one you are probably right about.
And folks: please send me more reports about corruptions, even SCSI ones now.
Also if you have a WDC AC36400L send me a Yes/No and also a firmware revision (see man hdparm).
