Ohhhh -- you mean the GENERICSBC kernel. This is a polled SCSI kernel and
has somewhat poorer performance, and should be used if there's evidence of
SCSI issues or known filesystem damage (i.e., it would not be first on my
list to use). The Quantum connection is that it seems (seemed? haven't heard
much on this bug in ages) to happen more on certain Quantum drives, but it
doesn't occur on all models, nor does it necessarily occur on the affected
ones, and nor is it specifically limited to Quantum drives. Again, I haven't
heard much about this bug for a very long time.
