Hi all,

While sata_mv in 2.6.16-rc6-mm2 seems stable (yah!) compared to
2.6.16-rc6 (no crashes, no data corruption), I still get these messages:

I'm not entirely sure this is only happens on sata_mv (Marvell
MV88SX6081) as out of eight disks only one is connected to the onboard
sata_nv (nVidia) and the error doesn't happen very often. But I'll keep
an eye on it.

Are these messages somehow dangerous or otherwise indicating a
potentional serious problem? A google search came up with a few links,
but none of them helped me understand the messages.

Without answering your specific question, just remember that sata_mv is considerly "highly experimental" right now, and still needs some workarounds for hardware errata.

For now, the goal is a system that doesn't crash and doesn't corrupt data. If its occasionally slow or spits out a few errors, but otherwise still works, that's pretty darned good :)
