Lots of con-current I/O = resets SATA link? (2.6.25.10)
From: Justin Piszcz

I've read the best way to 'deal' with this issue is to turn off apic/acpi
etc, is there any downside to turning them off? Particularly APIC for IRQ
routing?
This happens on drives on both the Intel 965 chipset motherboard ports and
PCI-e x1 cards, and the cables are not the issue (the cables with 12 other
150 raptors have no issues) (same cables I used with them)).
With NCQ on or OFF it occurs.

cd $i
tar xf ../linux-2.6.25.10.tar &
cd ..
done
With NCQ off (earlier) (from just heavy I/O on the raid5):

What is the true cause of this, is there anyway to get more information?
I will test soon with apic/acpi=off.
