Sorry for the mutilated mail, I've been forced to use telnet since my MTA was 
unusable.
Any comments to the problem?
ATARAID completely s**** these days. I think support for sil0680 and hpt37(2) 
should be removed because they're simply not working.
I'm a little bit upset about the negligence of such important base system 
functions. Of course, it's -current, but I think destroying raid 
configuration mustn't happen.
And by the way, even 4.10-stable doesn't handle the htp372 in any useful way, 
also the sil0680 is unusable with -stable once one drive failed; And that's 
what should be one of it's features: handle failed drives!

If anyone cares, starting from tuseday I'll write a "cheap-ide-raid" chapter 
because I did lots of tests and found a lot of work arrounds (especially for 
4.10) which I want to keep myself.
Even if nobody in the past cared about these problems (I posted myself some 
strange errors, also from others there are plenty of ignored/open questions 
(because there's no answer/solution?)), perhaps somebody could have a look at 
it and at least correct the man-pages.
