Title:
  SATA 3 error on intense disk activity

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Natty:
  Linux name 2.6.38-14-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 27 20:04:55 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Using two WD Caviar Black SATA3 (WD1002FAEX) drives raid 0 on a Marvell SATA RAID controller built into the Asus Rampage III.
  Both drives have Native Command Queuing.

  Drive is /dev/sdb1, formatted ext4.

  Controller from lspci:
  01:00.0 SATA controller [0106]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9123 PCIe SATA 6.0 Gb/s controller [1b4b:9123] (rev 11) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0])

  This issue may be related to or a duplicate of Bug #539467.  Though it
  is a desktop machine, not a laptop.  So not power state changes caused
  by power cable being plugged or unplugged.

  I have seen references to a problem with NCQ, but I don't know if that is relevant here.
  I have seen references to a problem with these drives in RAID configuration, but I don't know if that is relevant here.

  Symptoms:
  1.  Transferring > 200 GB of data.
  2.  System freezes while drive light flashes once per 2 seconds
  3a.  95 % of time:  after 10-20 seconds, system recovers.  (see attached syslog)
  3b.  5 % of time:  system does not recover.  Drive light flickers with some activity (v. dim, though).  System can be reset with Ctrl-Alt-SysRq-B.

  If system recovers, syslog contains attached file:  120418_syslog.txt
  (will attach).
