Re: [git patches] 2.6.x libata updates

Hi,

I can only confirm waht you guys are taling about!

I have a dual Opteron with a HighPoint 1820 PCI-X controller.

I have 7 disks attached to the controller:

History...

A) copying from only one disk to an other (200GB, mostly big files) works quite 
well. When doing a 2nd copy from an other disk onto the same disk, one of the 
source disks failed.

The system still works, no crash, as the / is on a different drive :-)

B) After removing all data from the 250GB disks I've created RAID 5 with the 
four Maxtor 7Y250M0

Having 2 instances of bonnie++ running and the rebuilt in the background, it 
happened again....

the rebuilt never completet:
