The vendor eventually swapped out all the Seagate drives for
Western Digital ones, which does not make the problem go away,
but makes it much less frequent and harder to reproduce, but
at least there is something in /var/log/messages to show for it
whenever it does happen. It is wrong to think this problem happens
only with Seagate drives.
