None that I'm aware of from the point of view of the
Linux SCSI subsystem (starting at about half way through
the lk 2.4 series or 4 years ago).

On reviewing that thread, the original poster was
jumping to premature conclusions. Justin Gibbs told
him there was no such problem (and Justin is well
placed to know). Then the final post shows a trace
with READ(10) commands failing. They are 32 bit lba
read operations that have been the default for about
10 years in the SCSI subsystem. If those fail on that
transport it is probably a termination problem.
When Justin saw that he probably didn't bother
responding again.
