Yeah, I think I won't be using the 3.0 kernel after tonight. At least the older kernel's would just lock up the card and not cause md to boot the disks one at a time. I /really really/ wish the driver for this card was more stable, but you deal with what you've got (in my case a $100 2 port SAS/8 port SATA card). I've been rather lucky so far it seems, I hope my luck keeps up long enough for either the driver to stabilize, me to get a new card, or at the very least, to get a third drive for my backup array, so if the main array does go down, I have a recent daily sync. -- Thomas Fjellstrom tfjellstrom@xxxxxxx -- 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
