... Subsequently, I disabled NCQ with: $ echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth $ echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/device/queue_depth
I'd put them in rc.local, or /etc/sysctl.conf (depending on if Google says that /etc/sysctl.conf says that's the correct place).
which rendered the system stable. Is there a better way of implementing this work-around than a rcS.d or rc2.d script? What is the right place to report this problem with NCQ? linux-ide@vger.kernel.org generated no response.
