Thanks Jonathan,I'm starting to expect it has to be the controller as well. About 20 minutes after I posted this message yesterday (and thus 20 minutes after ad6 got disconnected - atacontrol list showed "no device present" for it) the machine crashed while writing to the remaining ad4 drive (kernel panic). I attached the logs below. I also ran the long smart self test on both drives, and no errors were found on either drive (logs also attached).
Unfortunately I could not attach the new disks to my mainboard SATA because my mainboard SATA somehow hangs trying to detect them. So I cannot test if *not* using the controller is going to solve the problems, though I'm it seems logical at the moment it has to be the controller, especially if other people have had similar issues.
I guess I'll be buying another controller. Regards, Sebastiaan Jonathan Groll wrote:

However I'm still having problems with my SATA drives (or at least one of them). More info below.BIOS:I flashed my BIOS to the latest version about a year ago, and never noticed that there was any problem, but it turns out there was. I never reset the BIOS to default factory settings after the upgrade, and it seems the settings were corrupt. After having reset the BIOS to the "default optimized factory settings" it stopped crashing when I go into the H/W monitor and also when using healthd -d (output below):Temp.= 40.0, 36.0, 66.0; Rot.= 0, 0, 0 Vcore = 1.44, 3.12; Volt. = 3.34, 5.00, 1.95, -0.11, -1.54 Temp.= 40.0, 36.0, 66.0; Rot.= 0, 0, 0 Vcore = 1.44, 3.14; Volt. = 3.33, 4.97, 1.95, -0.11, -1.54 Temp.= 40.0, 36.0, 66.0; Rot.= 0, 0, 0 Vcore = 1.44, 3.12; Volt. = 3.34, 4.97, 1.95, -0.11, -1.54 Temp.= 40.0, 36.0, 66.0; Rot.= 0, 0, 0 Vcore = 1.44, 3.12; Volt. = 3.34, 5.00, 1.95, -0.11, -1.54 Temp.= 40.0, 36.0, 66.0; Rot.= 0, 0, 0 Vcore = 1.44, 3.12; Volt. = 3.34, 5.00, 1.95, -0.11, -1.54This also seems to have fixed the rl0 watchdog timeout problems. I no longer see those in my logs.SATA DRIVES: I'm still having problems with the SATA drives.I tried connecting the 1TB Samsung drives to my mainboard, but then the box hangs when booting with the "Detecting IDE drives" message. The regular (PATA) IDE drives are detected first, and then it repeats the "Detecting IDE drives" message to detect the sata drives, and hangs. When I connect my 250GB SATA drives to my mainboard they detect fine, and the box boots normally.I did another rsync of my old mirror (the 250GB disks) to the new mirror (1TB disks), but again one of the disks got detached. This time there are no other messages in the log, the only thing I see is the following:Aug 13 14:35:27 piglet su: sebster to root on /dev/ttyp5 Aug 13 14:55:38 piglet kernel: ad6: FAILURE - device detached Aug 13 14:55:38 piglet kernel: subdisk6: detached Aug 13 14:55:38 piglet kernel: ad6: detachedAug 13 14:55:38 piglet kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm1: provider ad6 disconnected.Aug 13 15:00:00 piglet newsyslog[1800]: logfile turned over due to size>100K(unfortunate that the log file just got rotated, but in the new log file there is nothing execpt the one expected line:Aug 13 15:00:00 piglet newsyslog[1800]: logfile turned over due to size>100K So, nothing after the disconnect... The questions I have now is:1) Could an upgrade to FreeBSD 7-STABLE fix the issue (it's a LOT of work for me, but I'll do it if there are SATA driver issues fixed).I suspect the problem may be the SiI driver in Freebsd. As a reference point, I've had a similar problem, even on 7-STABLE, but with sparc64 hardware (see earlier post in this thread). It'll probably be simplest for you to just buy another controller of another brand. On the other hand, it'll be worth knowing exactly what is wrong with the SiI driver... Cheers, Jonathan
