It's not quite the same end result, but there have been several posts on linux-raid about defective Maxtor sata drives causing system freezes. If your drives are Maxtor, download their powermax utility and test your drives. You may find that you have one or more marginal drives that appear to work most of the time, but powermax will determine are bad. Replacing one like that fixed my problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
