We have done an openSUSE 12.3 update, and the problem persists.
Does dd from the raw device run quickly? ie. dd if=/dev/sdx of=/dev/null count=1000000 That count is 1 million, so with 512 byte blocks that's half a GB. It should take 5 or 10 seconds. If you can destroy the data, what about the speed of writes with dd? If you can't write to the raw device do the above with a file. 1/2 a GB is not too big to fit unless your filesystem is really full.
