Problems: yes. Unsolveable: no. Explainable (for me): no.

I've got 4 external disks, 2 OXFW911, 1 SYM13FW500, 1 OXFW922 and
4 different Firewire adapter cards (Lucent FW323, VIA 6xxx, TI and
another TI chipset) and 1 6 port hub. All have no problems with a single
disk and a single PC. All show similar problems with many disks when
reading/writing a lot to many disks.

But those problems are solveable with "serialize_io=1".

However, once in a while, depending on luck and the cabeling (the hub
seems to be the tricky part), disks (usually the SYM13FW500 disk) is not
recognized. Recabeling and loading the sbp2 module again usually solves
it. Once all disks are recognized, I so far had no problems with the
disks at all. Even using RAID5 setups, which stresses the bus and the
disks a lot.

This is what I get when 1 disk is not being recognized.
