Detail info: the failed command always takes a touch more than 6.4 s to timeout. Only the time until it happens for the first time differs. It appears to me that the drive has an internal watchdog to wait for the host to do something. And directions how to dig up useful debug information for this issue? Have there been related fixes in 2.6.16-rc* that make testing worthwhile? -- Matthias Andree - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
