I was not clear, ATA-RAID was created before installing system. Filesystem was getting corrupted, so I've tried to synchronize disks using HPT BIOS. The problem was still there so _then_ I've decided to copy disks using dd. Of course system never complained me about any inconsistence between two disks in RAID1 (when data on disk1 and disk2 are known to be different, shouldn't array be degraded?). However, I think this PR should stay closed cause I know machines using HPT370 without such problems -- I suspect my card was broken somehow. I simply removed that HPT controller from my PC and I can't verify that right now. -- Pawel Malachowski
