Its something different than hardware, I am getting random failures now, as in: Normal (X marks no drive even present, U marks a drop): A B X X C D X X E F X X G H I X First loss: A B X X C D X X U U X X U U I X Second Loss: First loss: U U X X C D X X E U X X G H U X Just dropping randomly. I had the system running under ubuntu 9.04 server for 1 month without ever seeing this, it wont run an hour without this issue now. Currently trying to find my 9.04 disk so I can just go back, I need this thing online by wednesday. I wish I could have easily gotten more information for everyone, this is a huge problem for people with my setup. I think its possibly a controller driver thing.
