   Can we check if the seagate firmware workaround for requests crossing
   the magic LBA48 boundary is missing or in use?  I would expect that
   to cause another kind of error, but perhaps it's exposing another
   issue for sparc64.


fwiw, i've been using seagate disks with this problem on satalink
controllers for years without fault.
