The safest thing going forward would be to set the default of SATA link power managment to false. Of course this prevents seeing problems and further reports. As this is likely some problem which only happens on certain controllers, certain drives or the combination of both it would be nice to have a conditional quirking mechanism (or those cases fixed if possible). That however requires knowledge about what is broken and what not.

So for those knowing to be broken in Natty (or current upstream), if we can add "sudo lspci -vvvnn" (for the controller) and "sudo hdparm -i /dev/sd..." (for the drive) output here. And we need to think of a way to summarize the info somewhere, so it does not require to read though tons of comments each time...
