Based on that, it'd seem it's not so much Sil3132 per se, but some (too cheaply?) boards built around it, and the obvious conclusion is that they should only be bought with plan to test them before real use and return flakey ones. I _have_ had similar data corruption problems with one Sil3124 card, none with two more, and also none with a 3114 card (in heavy use for several years by now). On the other hand I've had similar trouble with a JMicron card and a Marvell-based card. So planning to test and return bad cards is probably a good idea with them as well. -- Tapani Tarvainen -- 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
