Re: 2.6.34-rc1 eat my photo SD card :-(

Hi, 

I have some more data. I really start to think that the mmc layer is
busted. I repeated a dd of the device, unmounted, five or six times in a

I really do not think this is normal. I will try to reboot to 2.6.23 and to see what's happening... 

I saw in the changelog that there were changes w/ respect to DMA; maybe
these changes are the most probable culprit.
