Hi
I've had problems before with GEOM mirror and my SATA drives, and
i've posted about it here before too. The solution seemd to be a
change of motherboard, this reduced the crash very much (and also the
speeds archieved was greatly improved, from 10-15MB/s to 40-50MB/s..).
However after the change i had one or two crashes, but now it has
been running for well over 50-60 days or so without any problems.
Then, 11 days ago I upgraded to 6.1... And now I got these "crashe"s
again (the mirror is crashed that is, the system still runs fine):

Some info about the controller and disks:

Anyone got any new clues? Afaik the disks should be working fine
(they are 6 months old and this same problem has occured multiple
times...)
Hope to solve this ;)
Thanks
