I am using that exact chipset on CURRENT from about 2007-09-05, with raidz2 on a 6 drive array + a single drive for the system (both on ZFS). I haven't seen checksum errors on scrubbing yet. How recent would this regression be? And what would the symptomes be? Is there a discussion on an ML about this? If it's regressed that would be sad, not only because I happen to have such a controller, but because it's seems to be about the *only* many-port SATA controller you can find, unless you shell out lots of money for a hardware RAID controller you (1) don't even want (2) might even make reliability worse if you want to run ZFS. So for my money it seems to be the best controller available for a home (or otherwise low-budget) server. Is there anything I can to do help resolve any issues, other than fixing them myself (sorry)? Providing a card to somebody for example? -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller_at_infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey_at_scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller_at_infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
