If it is the marvell issue I had before then quit doing smartctl

I now tried this and it did not help. I stopped all smart access, but
running
a md 'check' fails as before (all the disks disappear). Each test fails
at a
different address. This time the machine was mostly idle when the check was
running.
I should note that this HighPoint card was running without any problem for
4 years.
Maybe a driver issue? I was running f19 until a few weeks ago, and the
failures
all happened after I upgraded to f22 (and now on f26).
Your issue sounds like an overheating controller chip. Four years of
dust accumulation and/or fan bearing wear. It's failing when you load
it down with a scrub. Replace the controller card.
Thanks Phil,
Interesting. I checked the card and it still looks "as new", no dust.
It does not have a fan and the heatsink is glued firmly to the processor.
Does not look like there is anything I can do here.
I added a fan firing external air directly at the card and will test again
later. I really need to understand the source of the problem. If this fixes
it then I will get a replacement controller (the fan is just a hack).
