I see. The drive reports a failure with Sense Key = 0x04. According to the SCSI specification, this indicates a _nonrecoverable_ hardware failure. So you can't blame the SCSI drivers for not retrying the request, even though a later attempt to read the partition did end up succeeding. Maybe the SCSI midlayer could be changed to retry anyway, just as an optimistic workaround for buggy devices like yours.

That contains your original bug report. I didn't remember that was from you, because the message was resent by Matt Dharm.
