It is true, i was sure i've just post on that bug the info, but...

The controller was (is):

 Smart Array 641 in Slot 3
   Bus Interface: PCI
   Slot: 3
   Serial Number: P92270P9SSC1BM
   RAID 6 (ADG) Status: Disabled
   Controller Status: OK
   Hardware Revision: B
   Firmware Version: 2.34
   Rebuild Priority: Low
   Expand Priority: Low
   Surface Scan Delay: 15 secs
   Surface Scan Mode: Idle
   Post Prompt Timeout: 0 secs
   Cache Board Present: True
   Cache Status: OK
   Cache Ratio: 100% Read / 0% Write
   Total Cache Size: 64 MB
   Total Cache Memory Available: 32 MB
   No-Battery Write Cache: Disabled
   Battery/Capacitor Count: 0

Thanks for your feedback!

It'd be appreciated if you can inform the version of running kernel
and version of upgraded firmware.
This may be helpful to those having the same hardware.

I've finally decomissioned the server, so i've get some time (and
courage ;) to upgrade controller firmware to latest version (2.84) and
do some test (server was off network, but with service online and with
clamscan running on a loop continuously).

Machine survive with wheezy kernel for a week, so seems to me that
firmware upgrade (and/or wheezy kernel upgrades ;) cure the trouble.

Probably the server will be trashed, anyway...
