It looked all was working fine but when untarring large files or even a = csup of the portstree I got TIME OUT messages on channel ad6 First I thought it was the disk so to eliminate that I switched the = disks on the controller and got the same timeouts on ad6. I then searched the chipset for these adapters and soren the ata = developer stated to stay away from those chipsets. I now have a 3ware 8006-2LP adapter and that works ok till now.
