1) What version of RAID are you using?
2) Are the drivers for this controller source code or binary modules
or...?
3) Are you using the agpart patches?
I think you have an uncommon configuration with perhaps lower quality
drivers. I suggest rolling your own kernel with the new RAID, good agp

it works for me. 4-way RAID 5.

Try setting your SCSI bus one notch lower (63MBytes/sec, i believe).
I had this problem on our RAID set up because the hot-swap box caused
too much interference with the signal for 80MByte/sec to work.
Underclocking fixed the problem.
The SCSI card is the Tekram DC390U2B (SYM8xxx driver). I have

it has both general RAID information as well as implementation-specific.

or you could just configure the transfer rate to be one notch lower than
your current level. had to do that with my 4 U2W drives in a hotswap box
w/ a tekram dc390u2b (symbios chipset).

i am, and my raidtab manpage says the value is in KB.

nothing is "wrong" with it, per se, the guy just wanted to know if it
could be done. after all, with software raid performance being what it
is, how is it surprising that the guy wants to use it?

consideration is which modules you'll need

you need to compile the RAID stuff into the kernel for autodetection to
work. at least, that's the only way i could get it to work
automagically. make sure to edit you modules config not to try to load
any old raid modules either.

probably a good idea... i noticed on kernel traffic the

sending in regular, smaller patches and wanting to slip by with a giant

many people in fact do use capital 'B' and lowercase 'b' to distinguish
between Bytes and bits, but it is not uncommon for either of the reverse
cases to be true as well. in these cases, it is always best not to make
assumptions.
