I've reproduced the Areca problem from previous threads this year,
and was wondering if it's still broken, or if there's anything I'm
missing?
Here's what happens:

Here's the specs:
FreeBSD 6.2-REL, i386 GENERIC kernel (installed today [many times
over])
da2: <Areca ARC-1160-VOL#02 R001> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-5 device
(12 chhannel SATA Raid, Maxtor disks, with 'Disable Maxtor'
under 'HDD Read-Ahead Cache' set)
Firmware Version - V1.43 2007-4-17
BOOT ROM Version - V1.41 2006-5-24
Additional info:
- Volumes are Raid5 and Pass-Through drives
- Pass-Through drives fail just like the Raid5 volumes do
- Each time it crashes, disk i/o is SCREAMING'.

If I've missed something, please feel free to point me to the url!
But if not, it seems whatever bug in this driver existed, did not
go away...
(Sidenote: Gotta give a big thanks to the whoever is working on
these drivers, once you get working with big disks, it takes A
LONG TIME to figure out what's wrong... A fsck takes forever...
Not whining, actually I'm really meaning to thank the driver
writers for wading through this thick muck!!!)
There are locking problems in the arcmsr driver. I fixed them in
HEAD but not in 6-STABLE yet. I really don't have time today to
generate patch; I encourage someone to look at the commit I made on
July 31 and
backport those changes to 6-STABLE.
Scott
That's excellent to hear!
For the record, are these the most current changes you speak of?:
(I'm reading through the source, perhaps eventually I'll be able to
help more...)
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/arcmsr/
- I am not capable of backporting the changes,
+ but I will gladly test any changes this with a GENERIC kernel once
they make it to STABLE
