I have seen this bug in other ATA RAID implementations (VIA & Promise) too. From what I can tell this part of your patch is general to all ATA RAID arrays, right? I can be bad even with just ar0 - you can end up with ar0 & ar1 after a boot where ar0 is stale, it's awesome fun to debug :( -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
