kern/73313: Maxtor Onetouch drivers hang when used with firewire.

Thu Aug 4 18:14:34 GMT 2005

This problem is still present in 5-STABLE, with same kernel messages and 
same problems.  I am often seeing major disk corruption and data written 
to random place (fsck reports paths which are obviously part of some 
text file, etc).  I am also still seeing kernel puffing out messages 
with random characters in them, and other kernel loose pointer 
indications.  Symptoms are usually kernel either getting more and more 
confused, a panic or a lockup.  Usually just the firewire disks lock up, 
nothing else, though if I do not reboot within an hour of use or so, I 
will eventually get a full lockup or panic.

The problems increase (or possibly appear only) when at least two disks 
are connected to one firewire port, but this could also be just an 
indication of load increase.  Using two of these disks at the same time 
does not seem to correlate with the corruption.  The current 
configuration include 4 Maxtor 250-300G disks, being used as storage for 
video recordings.  I am very often getting a panic and major disk 
corruption if I copy a large video file from ATA disk to one of the 
Firewire disks.  Corruption seems to happen to places which are being 
modified, like directories.

If I stay off firewire disks, I do not see any problems (the computer 
has 3 ATA disks), so this looks like it is firewire related.  I also 
tried using EHCI/USB2, but that was even more unstable.

I have also seen this on another computer with 2 - 3 firewire disks, but 
rately.  The usage pattern in this one is much less intensive and does 
not involve as large files.

All disks are various Maxtor models.
