There appears to be a problem with your drive. In syslog:

17:18:08,361 ERR kernel:[   48.148036] ata6.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED

this is a bug, i have the exact same error message.
my drive is monitored by SMART and has no error.
closing bugs as "not a bug" will prevent others in reporting the same behaviour as the reporting tool in f20 only checks the state of the existing one and then aborts without sending the relevant data.

fedora goes more and more into an unstable state where i think about switching to another distri, even if i liked fedora a lot.
