CONCLUSION SO FAR:
------------------------------------

1.  Applying the Thinkpad dock / undock scripts from comment #34
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1269777/comments/34)
seems to make the system more robust.

2. Eject of the ultrabay (which I do with this script from comment #36:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_hotswap_Ultrabay_devices#Script_for_Ultrabay_eject)
brings back the ata2 device (DVD) and eth0

3. Booting the machine with

- BIOS:
      SATA: AHCI,
      POWER: PCI AUTOMATIC
      ->> POWER: PCIE power management OFF /DISABLED

seams to solve the problems and lead to a stable system.

4. Booting the machine with

- BIOS:
      SATA: AHCI,
      POWER: PCI AUTOMATIC
      -->> POWER: PCIE power management AUTOMATIC (!!!)

leads to an unstable system. Hard resetting links occur, when the
machine is idle, not on dock / undock events any more (undock script
comment #36)


So folks ... what now?

Title:
  [ Ubuntu 14.04 - Lenovo W510 - SSD Samsung 840 EVO PRO] Sudden Read-
  Only Filesystem

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Like mentioned in bug #1266305 (and before in bug #1265309) the
  following problem occured:

  1. System
  --------------------------

  - Ubuntu 14 04 LTS (acutal development branch)
  - linux-image-generic v. 3.13.x,  mainline kernel 3.13.x (first testing the standard kernel), last 3.12 mainline kernel
  - lvm with trim support (batched discard)
  - tlp (currently disabled for testing purpose)

  2. Hardware:
  ---------------------------
  - Lenovo W510 i7 quad core
  - SSD Samsung 840 EVO Pro (former Samsung 840 EVO, was changed in hope that the problem disapears)
  - nvidia graphics

  BIOS (defaults F9) and:

  - BIOS Mode Standard 1: SATA: AHCI, POWER: pci and pcie power management AUTOMATIC
  - BIOS Mode Standard 2: SATA: AHCI, POWER: pci and pcie power management OFF

  - BIOS Mode Compat 1: SATA: Compatability Mode, POWER: pci and pcie power management AUTOMATIC
  - BIOS Mode Compat 2: SATA: Compatability Mode, POWER: pci and pcie power management OFF

  3. Problem descripton
  -----------------------------------------------

  The SSD randomly freezes with the following errors:
  ata1: EH complete
  ata1: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps
  ata1.00: exception Emask 0x52 SAct 0x1 SErr 0x1a80d00 action 0x6 frozen
  ata1.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error
  ata1: SError: { UnrecovData Proto HostInt 10B8B BadCRC LinkSeq TrStaTrns }
  ata1.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED
  ata1.00: cmd 60/08:00:d8:b9:27/00:00:05:00:00/40 tag 0 ncq 4096 in
  ata1.00: status: { DRDY }
  ata1: hard resetting link
  ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310)

  
  Probably affect other Thinkpad models too:

  - http://www.howtoeverything.net/linux/hardware/ubuntu-freeze-issue-after-ssd-upgrade

  4. Troubleshooting so far
  ------------------------------------------------
  4.1. Kernel boot parameters:

  libata.force=1:3.0G,2:1,5G libata.force=noncq

  -> not working. DRDY, hard restting link.

  4.2. BIOS Mode Compat 2 (Compat, PCI powermangement OFF), no
  additional kernel boot parameters.

  System ran with standard generic kernel 3.13.x for over 12 hours usage without any problems.
  I did some suspend/ resume cycles: no problems.

  5. Further testing:
  --------------------------------------------------------
  Testing scenarios will be applied in the follwowing structure (if necessary)

  5.1 Testing the standard trusty kernel (linux-image-generic)
  5.1.1.  with all BIOS modes.
  5.1.2.  eventually kernel boot parameters

  5.2. Testing the latest mainline kernel  with all BIOS modes.
  5.2.1.  with all BIOS modes.
  5.2.2.  eventually kernel boot parameters

  This could take a few days, so be patient.

  Keeping fingers crossed ;-)

  P.S-.: Thanks a lot for Christopher M. Penalver for his excellent
  assistance so far!
