OK then, so would it be accurate to say that by upgrading the motherboard's BIOS is guaranteed not to have any effect at all on the way that data gets read from and written to disks directly connected to the SATA ports on the motherboard?
If the answer to the above question is affirmative, then the other thing to consider is that I also upgraded to snv_87 yesterday before I re-ran the tests. However, the strange thing is that I first saw this hanging problem on snv_87 a week or two ago, so the question is, if the motherboard BIOS has no effect on the way data is read/written, and I am now using the same Nevada build as before, why can't I see the problem any more? I suppose the answer could be that either I have been lucky so far when I re-ran the tests yesterday. But is is strange. I only re-ran the tests 5 times or so, so maybe if run them more I will see the bug re-appear? Or it could be something environmental like heat differences. But now I'm just guessing. Anyway, I will re-run the tests a few more times until I'm satisfied that the problem has gone away.
