Is this problem fixed in 6-CURRENT? If so, will > this fix be merged to 5-STABLE? as i had problems with an nfs-server (with SiI0680) running 5.2 for no obvious reason, i upgraded to 5.3 - and did not encounter the above mentioned problem since the release of 5.3 to date. i had to recreate my raid configuration, though, which seemed not to harm my data. (like this: atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6) is this the expected behaviour: doesn't recognise raids created under 5.2, but works fine with raids created under 5.3? wondering, Volker.
