Usually, the problem is cable/motherboard/BIOS/setup(config) issues more than driver issues. Since many people subscribe to stable, it may be beneficial to know to gather this information upfront before a code freeze on v4.7. Utilites like vinum, atacontrol, or driver issues can be addressed now and tracked so we can all beenfit at the next release. There are many maintainers and committers, busy with their own lives and jobs, that need feedback with things needing updating/tweaking/debugging. I'm interested in people using ATA drives for RAID solutions (>1 TB storage) under FreeBSD and the upkeep of ports/packages. As more people use >137 GB ATA drives, I hope to see more feedback on controllers and hard drives that run successfully under FreeBSD (RAID especially).
