FYI the only way I could recover the partitions semi successfully was
rebuilding the arrays identically and then use gpart to recover the
partition info. This would last for anywhere between 1-5 hours before
the array would get broken. The only thing that changed on both
systems when things started acting up was the addition of the line to
/etc/exports.
What would be the most appropriate list to further get info on to the
cause of this. My best guess is there is a glitch in the HPT374
controller or a bug in the FreeBSD driver.
Thanks,

Dear FreeBSD gurus,
I apologize in advance if this is not the most appropriate list to
post this to, but this seems the best that I can find. Here is my
situation, we have an Abit AT7 motherboard with onboard RAID (HPT374).
It has worked beautifully for us with FreeBSD 4.7 and then 4.8 for a
good 8 months or so serving up NFS and Samba. This morning my
/etc/exports looked something like
/data6 machine1 machine2 -mapall=65534
/data8 machine1 machine2 -mapall=65534
I then added a line so it looked something like:
/data6 machine1 machine2 -mapall=65534
/data8 machine1 machine2 -mapall=65534
/data6 -network 10.10.10 -mask 255.255.255.0 -mapall=65534
I sent a HUP to mountd and everything seemed to work fine. Then I
started getting errors similar to:
ad4: hard error reading fsbn 242727552
So I rebooted and the HPT374 controller was complaining that the first
disk in the RAID-0 configuration failed. I thought this might be a
bad disk, but we had an identical system with the same EXACT
configuration and we started mountd on that with the same exports file
from above. A minute or two later the same type of errors and same
complaint by the HPT374 controller about the first disk in the RAID-0
array being bad.
I was wondering if there is any, no matter how remote, possibility
that by adding that third line to the exports file that the raid-0 got
corrupted somehow and if so how to maybe reverse it. I have left
everything else intact nothing has changed on the controller side or
freebsd config.
Just as a note, we are not using vinum, but using the created array
(ar0) and formatting that as UFS.
Thanks so much for getting thorugh this email!
