I checked it now (thanks!) and I believe this is what we've got (or
similar) as we use AACRAID:

Adaptec AAR 2400, 2410, 2410SA, 2120S, 2200S, 2810SA (8-port),
21610SA (16-port) series PCI cards — real hardware RAID, using
the slightly anemic Intel IOP302/303 I/O co-processor chips. Use
"aacraid" driver. (Should not be confused with the Adaptec 2400A
ATA RAID host adapter, for which one uses the dpt_i2o driver,
that card being a legacy of Adaptec's buying DPT — nor with the
low-end Adaptec AAR 12x0 series, which please see.) Faster at
random I/O than the 3Ware cards. Optional battery is available
for the card's cache, for more reliable operation in the event
of power loss, etc. (Card disables the drive's write cache.)

We also have the optional battery mentioned.

I haven't tried any other filesystem, yet. I'm looking for clues as to
what this could be pointing to, first... and emails like yours are
definitely helping, thank you very much.

Cheers!
