Enclosure management controllers really mess things up. Unfortunately, I don't have a managed enclosure, so I can't test with one. 8( There is a driver at http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/RAID/mylex/mly-20010618.tar.gz that should solve your problems. I have some issues to resolve with drives going away/coming back, but I'll be trying to get it into the tree sometime in the next couple of weeks. Please let me know if this helps.
