Last times hda did not give errors. So i'm not sure if it is related to each other. (in the thread you mentioned that you can't explain the fixing of problem from Peter Favrholdt, so maybe it has indeed something to do with the libata) ct 16 14:10:59 fileserver kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Oct 16 14:10:59 fileserver kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } Oct 16 14:10:59 fileserver kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Oct 16 14:12:49 fileserver kernel: kjournald starting.

I can order that 1740 online, but returning something is always more difficult. So need to be quite sure that there are'nt problems with this highpoint. Tonight i will try the Asus motherboard with 1 drive and much I/O. And i will create a new array which takes 7 hours. But how often/hours do you need to try something to prove it does not fail :P -- Best regards, MisterE mailto:MisterE2002@xxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
