Here's an update. With an Ubuntu Live CD (using 2.6.24) I could mount the raid sets and recover just some data without issues. I rebuild the system using Ubuntu with a 2.6.24 kernel. All issues with the disk performance/corruption are gone now. The system is racing at full speed again with this

FYI: My system died on FS corruption. Did not notice this because mdadm did not report any errors. I noticed it because the system started to lock up. After a reboot, it did a fsck (which segfaulted) and the system hung afterwards. The system behaviour seems like this kernel bug describes:

Hello, Here's an update. I replaced the Promise Controller with a Sil3124 based controller. The soft-lockups appear to have gone, however now the behaviour changed. I receive netdev watchdog alerts for my Via Rhine based NIC's and SATA bus resets on all four drives under heavy load (resync for

I have not been able to reproduce the problem on my testbox (Since I test this onder VMware, hardware is not comparable to the production machine). I did update the kernel with the newer version in te repositories (Now running linux-image-2.6.26-1-686, 2.6.26-13lenny2) but the problem still
