I was almost sure this problem had been solved by the 6-STABLE version
of sys/dev/bce/, a month ago, or so. I can't back it up, however, since
I'm currently using 7-CURRENT (i386) on my PE 1950, and this behaviour is n=
ot
present in this FreeBSD version.

By the way, is your server equipped with a LSI SAS 5/i controller, or
Dell PERC 5/i?
