--- Comment #2 from Kenneth D. Merry <ken@FreeBSD.org> ---
The device may be going away for several possible reasons:

1. A CCB is returned with the status CAM_DEV_NOT_THERE or CAM_SEL_TIMEOUT.
2. A CCB is returned with the SCSI ASC/ASCQ 0x25,0x00, Logical Unit Not
Supported.
3. Someone is doing an xpt_async(AC_LOST_DEVICE, ...)


A device may go away and come back as a result of a rescan if any of the
following changes:

SCSI Standard Inquiry Data (Full inquiry data, including Vendor, Product,
Revision)
SCSI page 0x80 serial number

The first thing I would look at here is what status is getting returned from
the drive in question after a reset.  If that all looks good, look at wheth=
er
someone is issuing a rescan, and whether the device is returning inconsiste=
nt
results.  Those inconsistent results could be buried in the part of the Inq=
uiry
data that isn't displayed.  Standard inquiry data is checksummed along with=
 the
serial number and any change in the checksum will make the device go away a=
nd
come back.

Although this is a SATA drive, obviously the only thing that matters is the
SCSI response, because CAM is communicating with it as if it is a SCSI prot=
ocol
device.
