JFYI, Google reports tons of problems with that card using mvsas driver in linux, maybe you should consider using a different controller :-( (...) > And I can access the disks.

I would report it, although I'm afraid this is a well-known issue. Maybe you can try with an updated kernel to see if there's any imprevement with the driver (mvsas) but to be sincere, I would be very reluctant in setting a raid 5 level with a hard disk controller that is not rock-solid, you are exposing your system to a data loss :-/ > There are Red Hat ad SUSE drivers and firmware on the Supermicro > homepage. Should I take them from there? Sadly, Supermicro does not build binaries for Debian/Ubuntu but maybe you can ask them for the sources to compile the driver by your own.
