I've experienced these personally with IBM SCSI disks and a 2100S, but I'm sure it could extended to other controllers and disks. It was listed as a known issue on the Adaptec web site for a while. Cabling also seems like a probably cause though. I'd check that first since disk firmware can sometimes be a headache to upgrade. Upgrading the controller firmware is step one if you haven't already done that. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
