Goodmorning.
My name's Mauro Ziliani from Parma ITALY.
I use two disk Seagate ST3808110AS with an Sil3114 SATA controller.
The first disk is sdb and the second is sdc.
I configured a RAID1 software mirror onto this two disk where sdb1 is
the master disk for RAID.
I often receive the following warning message from the kernel during
synchronization of md0 device
...
RAID1 conf printout:

....
Why this happens?
I control the disk with PowerMax 4.23 and the disk works fine.
All test are ok.
Is it better to make the RAID1 throught Sill3114 BIOS or throught
software md?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regard
