we have several machines with said PERCs, used as ZFS/NFS for postgres =
to large dna sequences
and have yet to receive complains of data corruption, this does not mean =
the absence of them :-), but
considering the amount of storage/servers some user should have =
complained by now =85

so, is someone else in FreeBSD 9.2/3 seeing such corruptions?
BTW, the only issue we had was when the server was connected at 10G we =
did have a lot of
data corruption which was solved by turning TSO off.
