Tested-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@....org> My OCZ Solid was giving me timeouts. I thought it was about to die, so I bought an Intel X-25M urgently, copied my data, but the timeouts continued. After some googling I found that a patch for that was sent this very morning! After applying the patch, the timeouts have stopped. They would appear minutes after reboot, but it has been over an hour since I rebooted and no timeouts. My motherboard is ECS G31T-M, which is not AHCI capable, so I was using ata_piix, which explains why I was affected. My kernel is 2.6.34-rc2 (actually, wireless-testing.git). By all means, please push this patch to all stable kernels, or more money will be wasted on hard drives ;-) -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
