1. Do you also give each ext3 filesystem a unique label? 2. Does cli64 have a cache flush command? 3. Have you checked SMART status on the drives? (long shot, but...) 4. Assuming your OS is on a different type of controller, can you unload and reload the arcmsr module and see if the problem persists? (You'll probably have to rescan for partitions.) 5. Have you tried putting the Areca into JBOD mode and using swraid? Beyond the potential issues with recovering from a proprietary RAID format, you might want to do some performance comparisons, too. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
