I'm = booting from a small IDE hard drive and have installed a SiI3112 = controller and a pair of SATA drives for data storage. Before starting I = flashed the controller with latest firmware (4.2.77) and performed a = low-level format and burn-in test on both SATA drives (Maxtor 7L300S0's) = using Maxtor's PowerMAX 4.22 diagnostic utilities. The burn-in tests ran = two full passes (approx. 8 hours) on each drive without errors so I am = reasonably sure the drives are working correctly. I then did the following: atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6 bsdlabel -w /dev/ar0 newfs -O2 -U -b32768 -f4096 -g8388608 -h16 -ospace /dev/ar0a So far so good, but when I do this: mount /dev/ar0a /data I get this: ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=3D24016 Some quick questions: 1) Are these SiI3112 controllers any good? I have the option of using a = HighPoint HPT372 instead but was planning to use that elsewhere. 2) Would upgrading to something newer than 5.4-RELEASE help with this = issue? DMESG below... TIA, RPK.
