No. Possibly a problem with multi sector pass-through commands in the 
SAT layer in CCISS driver or firmware.

Is the page 0 of Identify Data log correct ? It lists the supported 
pages, e.g.:
0000000: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 09 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 ...
0000010: 00 08 ...

If not, is it correct if read with single sector SMART READ LOG command 
(-l smartlog,0x30,0) ?

Does READ LOG EXT provide better results (-l gplog,0x30,0-max) ?

Thanks,
Christian
