How did you modify the 1.20.00.12 driver from Areca? Is the 1.20.00.13 driver mentioned above the one from 6.2-RELEASE? If = so, do you ever see g_vfs_done errors on this machine when it is under heavy = I/O load? >From the machine I used to test the corruption issue (currently running 6-STABLE): arcmsr0: mem 0xc8500000-0xc8500fff,0xc8c00000-0xc8ffffff irq 16 at device 14.0 = on pci10 ARECA RAID ADAPTER0: Driver Version 1.20.00.14 2007-2-05 ARECA RAID ADAPTER0: FIRMWARE VERSION V1.42 2006-10-13 pass4 at arcmsr0 bus 0 target 16 lun 0 pass4: Fixed Processor SCSI-0 device This is an ARC-1220 in a Supermicro X7DB8 based machine.
