Hi everyone,
i have the same problem with the symptoms described by
CarloBecchi, also with ubuntu 9.04 with the kernel 2.6.28
My laptop is a Sony Vaio VGN A517B, with a controller
00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA
Controller (rev 03)
and a Hitachi SATA disk HTS541080G9SA00
During the use, copying moving files, the disk often freezes, and
becomes more slow passing from UDMA5 to UDMA2.
At the beginning these are the conditions:
t...@vaioteo:~$ sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 1718 MB in 2.00 seconds = 859.50 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 104 MB in 3.03 seconds = 34.30 MB/sec
t...@vaioteo:~$ sudo hdparm -v -i /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
IO_support = 0 (default)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 9729/255/63, sectors = 156301488, start = 0
Model=HTS541080G9SA00 , FwRev=MB4OC60D, SerialNo=

After some use and getting worst:
t...@vaioteo:~$ sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 1566 MB in 2.00 seconds = 783.28 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 88 MB in 3.03 seconds = 29.01 MB/sec
t...@vaioteo:~$ sudo hdparm -v -i /dev/sda
/dev/sda:

The messages in the log folder show this very quickly degradation:

The last Ubuntu distribution, without problems for me, was 7.10 with his
kernel. One month ago i tried to install Lenny but the installation stopped due
to the long time of copying the system to the disk. Also the installation of
9.04 was one hour long.
A similar bug effect is the

I hope that someone will resolve this bug that seems to be "historical"
