At least tangentially related: On one of my boxes (running 2.6.18-1.2869 from Fedora) I have a couple of other Maxtor drives that didn't like NCQ. They are on a JMicron 20360/20363 (ahci driver). (There's also a Promise 300 TX4 card in the box and an Intel ICH8 that shows up with ata_piix). model and (partial) firmware revision of the drives: Maxtor 7V300F0 VA11 Maxtor 7B300S0 BANC Until I disabled NCQ I got gazillions of messages like the ones below and absymal performance. - ask ata5: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0xf) ata6: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x33) ata5: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0) ata6: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0) ata5: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0) ata6: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0) ata6: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x38) ata5: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x3c) ata5: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0xf2) ata5: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x1c) -- http://develooper.com/ - http://askask.com/ - 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/
