Actually my problem with big writes was the bk kernel I downloaded was a rev too early (2.6.7-bk7 ?).
I tested the sata_sil.c version from June 25 (via bk checkout) extensively and had no problem... posted my results then, hdparm reported ~42 - 51 MB/sec, and never a write block.
Today I try putting 2.6.8.1 on the box and I'm getting ~14 MB/sec, the drive has been added to the sil_blacklist. Why? What did I miss?
I've taken my drive out of the black list, abused it with 5 continuous writes and "top id 0" no problem after 58Gb. I'm doing it again this time simultaneously with a massive rm -rf of backup directories. I really don't anticipate a problem.
So what's up with
/*{ "ST3160023AS", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE },*/
before it got in there, it was said the black list "would not grow" (for unexplained reasons).
