Seagate Barracuda ST380817AS has troubles with NCQ. For example,
unpacking a tarball on an XFS filesystem gives this:
ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x1 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
ata1.00: cmd 61/40:00:29:a3:98/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 32768 out
res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
What makes you sure that is an NCQ problem ?
It goes away with:
echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth
I have this problem only with XFS, and even with XFS it goes away
mounting with "nobarrier"...
This last is an interesting datapoint.
I wonder if libata has a generic problem with NCQ + FLUSH CACHE.
What happens if you enable the 'fua' module parameter? (libata.fua on
kernel command line, if built in)
