Hi Jason, thanks for your hints. I did a FW update of the LSI SAS controller and reduced the fs content. Since the the update and the filesystems are less filled the error didn't occur again.

I don't know what numbers are normal but there is a server with drives that have an error count of more than 850 and work flawlessly. I would disable NCQ only at very last step, because throughput is important. The server has to fill 2 LTO tapes with fast write speed. Is it possible to reopen bug reports? If yes, I think you can close this one for now. I'll report when problems occur again.
