I cvsup/update the OS a few times a week, and after an update on Saturday (24/9) I've seen multiple "TIMEOUT - READ_DMA48 retrying" errors on both machines, causing all sorts of trouble (broken arrays, panics, ...). After a reboot the disks have come back to life and seem to work just fine.

If it's a FBSD problem then the "offending" code was added some time between Monday 19/9 and Saturday 24/9.

I have had same problems with >UDMA100 since 5.3-RELEASE, UDMA66 works 
perfectly. Machine boots ok with higher modes, but some disk load 
triggers the timeouts. Problems just revisited after upgrade to 
6.0-BETA5 because atacontrol mode syntax changed.

cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
atacontrol mode ad0 UDMA66
atacontrol mode ad4 UDMA66
atacontrol mode ad5 UDMA66
atacontrol mode ad6 UDMA66
