The test with different OSs would serve to find out whether the problem is influenced by the kernel or by the hardware (or both). The different types of failures that your logs show point towards flaky hardware. If so, then it could be the card, the cable, or the combination of PC (with all its internal noise) and cable and disk.
BTW, I read that one large harddisk vendor sold series of FireWire disks with defective cables. I don't remember whether it was WD or Seagate or Maxtor. -- Flaky firewire disks Fail Feisty but Do Dapper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
