It is strange then that you don't get any I/O error messages from sbp2
or from scsi.  Or do you?

Was the "Node paused" message in the log above from when you actually
unplugged or switched off the disk, or didn't do you anything to it at
that moment?

Depends on how much RAM you have.  Could be that there isn't a lot of IO
going on until umount.

Perhaps there is a bug in the disk's IDE-to-FireWire bridge that went
unnoticed with older kernels but is now exhibited due to different
kernel behaviour (writeback related changes, larger requests...).
Several SmartDisk products have an old Symbios chip that require
requests limited to 128 kB each.  When sbp2 logs in to the device, does
it print a "Workarounds for node "... message?  If yes, do the
workaround flags contain 0x1?

If not, run "echo 1 > /sys/module/sbp2/parameters/workarounds" before
you plug in the disk.  *If* this fixes the issue, we should add the
device IDs to sbp2's and firewire-sbp2's hardcoded quirks lists.

(By the way, ieee1394/ ohci1394/ sbp2 are kind of end-of-life products;
firewire-core/ firewire-ohci/ firewire-sbp2 are more actively
maintained.  OTOH there shouldn't be regressions in the 1394 stack.)
