Oh dear.. Gee, another item of useless anecdotal evidence directly attributable to cheaply
manufactured cards from a third world country and no direct correlation to a flaky chipset design.

Oh dear.. Yes, the mvsas driver has been noted to be somewhat problematic still.
I hope you're not a betting man. 3 for 3 is not a great record thus far. On the up-side the 7042's
have been as solid as a rock.. and _fast_ for the last couple of years. Marvell worked with Mark
Lord and the result was a workable version of the sata_mv driver. Shame they don't do the same with
the mvsas code.
Additionally, I migrated two arrays from the Marvell7042 controllers onto the LSI based "IBM"
controllers configured up as JBOD and they just worked. No initialisation or reconfiguration
required at all.
