Thanks. To sum it up: - 1st the 4 disks on the Jmicron controller failed with 1 [chieftek] PSU - then it failed with 2 PSU too, but this time the chieftek was only connected to the different 4 disks - on the nvidia controller. MB and other disks were on the other, non-chieftek [650W] PSU. - Then I started the tests with only this second PSU, and it ran for about 6 days under heavy testing and array rebuilding and guess what: it failed again. Full kernel log at: http://www.huweb.hu/maques/tmp/jmicron/kern0221.log Since it is not a "switch on and see" problem, I'm not in too good position, so unless someone have a really great idea or observation, I seriously have to consider to replace the MB and probably add some extra sata controllers.
