Nope, ar1 (with ad8 and ad10) is the second RAID, both are marked as
READY even though one is degraded in the BIOS.

ar0: 476937MB  status: READY
ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad4 at ata2-master
ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad6 at ata3-master
ar1: 476937MB  status: READY
ar1: disk0 READY (master) using ad8 at ata4-master
ar1: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad10 at ata5-master

In any case, this is water under the bridge for me now.

Cheers,
Stef Walter

Yes, I reported several of those as well as provided patches for them.
That was back when I had relevant hardware in my lab.

Err, you have two RAID volumes, one degraded, and one ok.  ar0 is apparently 
the one that is ok (drives 2 and 3).  What is more odd is that it isn't 
seeing a RAID config at all for ad0 and ad2 (drives 0 and 1).

See the "ATA (SATA, PATA, ATAPI)" section, specifically the Intel

RAID status issues with Intel MatrixRAID ataraid

2008-05-30 Thread Stef Walter
This isn't a bug report, just a heads up to anyone using the same setup.
This occurred in production, and I don't currently have a non-production
hardware on which to investigate this bug and/or create a patch.

In certain conditions, even though the Firmware RAID BIOS, says that a
RAID is degraded, the FreeBSD driver thinks it's business as usual. In
my case this resulted in file system corruption. Relevant output below.

FreeBSD version: 6.3-RELEASE-p2

Stef Walter
