It's not installed in our C3600 at the moment, but it seems what we observed 2 days ago with Highpoint RocketRAID 1640HTP374 card it's PCI 32bit, 4 SATA channels, it doesn't crash, but it randomly offers file corruptions. The dmseg shows a lot of DMA errors. How to investigate? I am not a kernel developer, but rather an HDL-guy (FPGA)
