Greetings all,

I have a Promise PDC40718 SATA300 controller running on a box from
8.0-Release since now now on 8.2-Stable 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #3:
Thu Apr 21 15:23:08 EEST 2011. The controller is in jbod mode with 3 WD
drives in Raidz1.

ad8: 610480MB <WDC WD6402AAEX-00Y9A0 05.01D05> at ata4-master UDMA100 SATA

ad10: 610480MB <WDC WD6401AALS-00J7B1 05.00K05> at ata5-master UDMA100 SATA
3Gb/s

Today the box became unresponsive so I had to do a hard reset. From
/var/log/messages:

It appears from the logs that the problem lasted for a full day! However,
after the reboot the drive did not perform any resilver and no data loss
occurred.
I have scrubbed my pool successfully and run smartmon tests also.

It doesn't appear to be a drive issue so I was wondering if the recent
changes in controllers that appeared a few days ago might be related.

Thanks
