I have tried to reproduce these error, with these settings:
- 1 KB and 4 KB soft block size file systems.
- Various IDE disk 'hdparm -m ? /dev/hdd' values.
- Different I/O elevators: as, cfq, deadline
- Disk write cache on and off.
- Repartitioned disk with different partition layouts.
- Small and large writes to files.
- Two gcc versions 2.95.4 and 3.3.2
- regparm off and regparm=3
I haven't tested all possible combinations of above, but so far I have been
unable reproduce these errors.
David, can you specify
1) what gcc version you are using
2) what file system soft block sizes are you using
3) post 'fdisk -l /dev/hda' output
4) hdparm MultSect value: hdparm -i /dev/hda
5) post compressed kernel config
