Hi guys,

I've just bought a AOC-SASLP-MV8 controller and put 6 Samsung Ecogreen 1.5 TB 
disks on it. (/dev/sd[cdefgh]).
I've done a fresh ubuntu10.04.2 x64 server install on a raid1 ext4 WD Raptor 
(36GB) which is connected to the mainboard SATA.
Don't know if it's relevant, but my AOC-SASLP-MV8 controller is not bootable 
because I've disabled the interrupt 13 thingy.

First thing I did was write the Samsung disks full with zeros simultaneously 
(dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd[cdefgh] bs=1M)
Then I read them completely simultaneously (dd if=/dev/sd[cdefgh] bs=1M 
of=/dev/null)

That went fine, no lines showed up in dmesg and average speed was
~100MB/s per disk.

The following thing I did was create a RAID5 array:
mdadm --create /dev/md5 -v -f -l 5 -n 6 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1 
/dev/sdg1 /dev/sdh1
This went fine for at least 20 minutes, then I went to do other stuff. The 
server was not used for anything else (except routing/firewalling) and 
/proc/mdstat showed it was rebuilding the drive. Only thing I did while 
rebuilding was starting the ipv6 tunnel. 

When I got back, I noticed the following in /proc/mdstat:
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] 
[raid10]
md5 : active raid5 sdh1[6](F) sdg1[7](F) sdf1[8](F) sde1[9](F) sdd1[10](F) 
sdc1[11](F)
      7325679680 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [6/0] [______]

Not good! It broke completely with the same messages other users here had.
I've attached my dmesg output.
