Has anyone except me had trouble (or success) running 16 or more IDE drives 
on 4.8-RELEASE?

Currently we run perf on 14 drives, 2 connected to motherboard ide and 12 
connected to 2 HighPoint Tech RocketRaid 454. The 454 has no native driver 
for freebsd as of yet and we are told by hpt to run it using the 404's driver.

We ran perf with 18 drives about one week ago, and after we mounted the 
last 4 (raided that is) it worked fine for like half an hour or maybe a 
whole hour then it locked the mount point. It's not reported in any logs 
and the hpt374.status sysctl that is set reports no trouble neither. I'm 
thinking that it might be a driver problem but I don't see why it ONLY 
occurs when we have the raid mounted... never if we have 1 or 2 out of 3 
mounted. But as soon as all drives are mounted.
Oh yeah, it doesn't matter which raid we mount as the last... it's always 
the LAST one mounted that f00bars...

The computer has a 550W PSU so power should not really be a problem. Nor 
does it have any i/o to talk about... I'd say in a given day it reads about 
50gig and writes about 10-30gig.
Any clues? :o)
