Dave, any chance you could try 2.6.22-rc3 + my v4 patch, on a different
hard drive? Preferably a non-Maxtor, or at least not another Maxtor
6L200S0. If that's a big deal, don't worry about it. I just want to
rule out buggy firmware and/or bad hard drive in your case.
It is likely I can come up with at least one, and maybe two if I
cannibalize my main machine... do you want results under all three
kernels or just the v4 patch?
Mainly the v4 patch, but an it-works test on 2.6.22-rc3 just for
sanity's sake would be useful as well.
If you have time, check both new and old drives with SMART
smartctl -d ata -t long /dev/blahblah
to make sure the extended tests don't find anything wrong. Extended
tests usually take 30-90 minutes. You can access the hard drive while
the extended test is running, but I/O will be slower for obvious reasons.
