Does it correlate with high disk activity, i.e. with periodic(8)? On my machine, I have a feeling that timeouts occur more often at that point, than normally... and that they also occur when multiple processes access the disk simultaneously. If it's only one process, the machine (usually) doesn't hang, even when that process is copying big files back and forth for a long period of time (it's a backup process). But interleave that process with another one accessing the same disk, and poof!, almost immediately ahci timeouts. occur. Very strange... Maybe a race condition of some sort after all? > -- > Alexander Kabaev Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
