Hello, 

I've run into a big problem.
I'm constructing a redundent filserver. Consisting of two computers. 
After installing the stuff, compiling Kernel 2.4.0-test5 with Raid1. 
I was ready 4 testing the stuff.
Got raid working nicly. The 1st test, powerdown, dissconnect a harddisk,
powerup
worked just fine, the mddriver exported the filesystem, (Now only
running on one scsi-disk).
So I was ready for a next level of testing... Yanking the power cable of
a disk, 
to simulate powerfalioure. That would be posable yes??

No my adaptec thought otherwise...  :-(
at every sector, it issued a scsi-reset, thus rendering my system
compleatly useless. 
(Linux on a C= 64 kind of useless) :-(((

I can't find a solution to this problem in the argive's or in the
aha7xxx kernel driver.
Can someone here help me?

--Some (usefull?) information --

OS:             Linux 2.4.0-test5
Distro:         Mandrake 7.1
