I have not rebooted, but the program did reset the controller. I did a test on 1 drive like this: sdb is on phy-0 on the card (which is the one I had problems with) # dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=128k count=50000 50000+0 records in 50000+0 records out 6553600000 bytes (6.6 GB) copied, 47.4533 s, 138 MB/s # By the time I get to 500mb, I would have had errors before, no errors at all. I have a raid5 (currently degraded as one drive died) as md2 with the disks at phy-[012]. I ran the same dd (x10 count) # dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=128k count=500000 437964+0 records in 437963+0 records out 57404686336 bytes (57 GB) copied, 184.517 s, 311 MB/s 500000+0 records in 500000+0 records out 65536000000 bytes (66 GB) copied, 206.341 s, 318 MB/s # No errors again (NOTE: I sent USR1 to dd to get the status). I do find it odd that the speed is faster at the end.
