goflex randomly stops showing files

My seagate goflex home works "some" of the time. if it loses wifi connectivity or has to be restarted it will often startup without any files in the file system. after restarting several times in a row or letting it sit overnight, it suddenly works again. Handy feature. I was able to capture one instance on boot where nothing showed up and then another boot cycles where ALL the files appeared again. Here is the section in /var/log/dmesg where it is different. Something to do with the Marvell SCSI to SATA adapter not finding the drive. When it does boot up with files, it works great: no issues.

boot when files didn't show up:

Integrated Sata device found
scsi0 : Marvell SCSI to SATA adapter
scsi1 : Marvell SCSI to SATA adapter
NFTL driver: nftlcore.c $Revision: 1.98 $, nftlmount.c $Revision: 1.41 $

and here is the version of the Marvell SCSI SATA Driver in the log if interesting:

toddcscar,

I am not sure what is your question? please post the entire serial bootlog (if you have it), or the entire dmesg output. And states what help you need, or what you want to do.
