Hi Juergen,
there are two other bugs referred to in the report:

6397774 marrakesh often hangs in suspend-state 33
6455736 ata/dadk/cmdk should support DDI_SUSPEND/DDI_RESUME


and the evaluation indicates that 6398361 was tentatively
assumed to have been resolved along the way with 6455736.

This is an excerpt from the comments:

My guess is that this corruptions is due to a disk driver problem
(also the likely cause of 6397774). If the driver doesn't properly
suspend, or disk activity is attempted _after_ the driver is suspended,
I believe that corruption can occur.

If you bfu to the night before Randy's putback does the issue
go away? Can you bfu to the night before?
