Yeah, that's the strange bit.

Surely someone at SuSE must have a drive like that,
which they could set up with XFS and reproduce the same results?

I wish we had a detailed hardware catalog. I'll give a shot at the
internal mailing list.

Or pick up a new one (only about $78 here) and expense it!

Mmm.. $66 for "open box". But the drive itself has been discontinued by Seagate,
and once claimed to be "World's first SATA desktop drive with NCQ.".

Probably buggy firmware after all.
