Hey folks,

First off, I apologize if this is going to the wrong group, but I am quite
desperate and a search of the FreeBSD mailinglist archives nets me no
usable results... so.. here goes.

I am in the process of building a 1TB disk array using FreeBSD 4.1, two
Adaptec 29160 adapters, and the vinum software raid manager.  Although
this is my first time setting up FreeBSD, I've got a fair amount of
experience in other *nix like systems and I have set the same hw set up in
Linux (but had to drop it because of problems with nfs)...

The setup goes well; I am able to compile a new kernel, add the requisite
support for hardware, set up vinum, etc. etc. etc and everything seems to
be going swell until I actually start loading the disk array with data.
I get error messages like this in /var/log/messages:

and then vinum marks the drives as stale and I am stuck.

I read somewhere that this might be a scsi timeout issue... if so, is
there a fix?  

If you respond please respond to me directly as well as the list because
I'm not sure I'm subscribed correctly.

Thank you very much in advance,

John Fink
