    Hello.

    I've read about this error and that it should have been patched in
    2.6.0-test5-bk3.

    I tried it because I got a lot of them with 2.6.0-test5 while removing
    lots of files (i.e. while starting sn at boot time), but I got the same error
    messages with 2.6.0-test5-bk3; moreover, i had also some "attempt to
    access beyond end of device" errors while trying to read a file from the
    same partition. Here are the messages:

    My mainboard has a VIA controller (Asus A7V8X) and the hard disk is a IBM
    180GXP with Tagged Command Queueing enabled and a default queue length
    of 8. I haven't tried disabling TCQ, but it seemed to work up to
    2.6.0-test4 (although with 2.6.0-test4 I experienced some data
    "swapping" between files while accessing lots of them concurrently).
