OK, I did not know the Marvell controller also has a problem with
smartmontools.
In his original post he mentions it having problems with mdadm:
"(mdadm freaks out on it and the controller drops the drives - there has
been discussion of the problem on the list. Seems to be a mvsas driver
problem but seems to surface only under mdadm use.)"
