Quentin, well, if you can't or don't want to reproduce and test the problem
anymore, no one can do much about it. Also, if you go that low level in the
stack, distros are basically running the same code. If you hit an actual
kernel bug (highly unlikely given the symptom, bug report rate on openSUSE and
upstream), you're gonna eventually hit it again whatever distro you use unless
somebody fixes it. I don't know much about sabayon but on many distros it's
customary to not enable barrier by default unless the filesystem defaults to
it. I don't know. I wouldn't feel too safe with the system but, hey, it's
your decision.
Kenn, most people don't believe when I tell them they're likely to be
experiencing power issues but it's sort of surprising even to me how often that
diagnosis turns out to be correct. Till now, I had four or five separate
reports of the exact same symptom and in all cases power was the problem.
There was a recent upstream one too.

So, given recent barrier changes and the symptom, I think power problem is most
likely. Of course it could be something else, but power problem is the most
likely and is easy to rule out. So, please try to verify it.
Thanks.
