Hmm, that does not sound good. Did windows work on the same hardware without problems? I -might- have solved my problem. It has now ran for 24h without timeouts, and with a bit of load on it. I think I might have ran into the seagate + NCQ-problem, even tho seagate's webpage told me my drives was not affected (according to the serial numbers). I did however update the following num drives firmware 6x ST31000340AS SD15 4x ST31500341AS SD17 to firmware SD1B (old SD17) and SD1A (old SD15), and that looks like it has done the trick. I'll report back in a week or so if the problem has not reappeared. -- Ståle Kristoffersen
