"it is now capable to fetch this special case"
I have no idea what this statement means. What "special case". The
changelog of the driver doesn't indicate much has changed, looking at
the ips.c & ips.h files in the kernel source of my 10.2 box.

Of course; but there isn't much out there or the signal:noise ratio on
such searches is just way to high. I've found people asking similar
questions but most the answers are clearly nonsense (people who don't
know what a logical drive is, asking him to try different kinds of
cables [these aren't ATA drives!], etc...)
Someone thought it was the smartd monitoring program haunting the
logical drive somehow, but I don't have smartd installed.

I'll see if that is feasible.
