Sadly still getting the same errors. Will have another go at this
tomorrow. Three more things to try
1. UBCD and Western Digital diagnostics.
2. Bring the RAID array up via the live cd and see if it resyncs. At
least I'll be able to inspect the log files when the I/O errors hit.
3. Try using the 3Gb/s channel.
Will let everyone know how that goes.
Thanks for all you help!
Cheers!
