VJ, this is not the first time similar inquiries have
appeared here, and I encountered the same problem with a completely different
hardware setup. I saw this happening on a SCSI raid w/caching
controller. I discovered a work around by disabling cache writes to
filesystem in the mount. Some of the newer ide/sata drives are coming with
large caches (~8meg), so it makes me wonder about a possible correlation
there. Maybe completely off target - just FYI...

I am running kernel "2.6.9-1.681_FC3" with "noapic nolapic
acpi=off".
I ran Segate's own Seagate Tools for surface scan - No problem found.
I ran smartctl -t long /dev/hdh for SMART extensive test. No problems there either.
Any ideas???
