Hi There,

I've been running ZFS under FreeBSD 7.0 for a few months now, and we also 
have a lot of HP / Proliant Kit - and, touch wood, so far - we've not seen 
any issues.

The first thing I'd suggest is make sure you have the absolutely *latest* 
firmware on the BIOS, and RAID controller (P400 I think the 320S is) from 
HP's site. We've had a number of problems with drives 'disappearing' 
array's locking, and errors with previous firmware in the past - which were 
all (finally) resolved by updated firmware. Even our latest delivered batch 
of 360's and 380's didn't have anything like 'current' firmware on.

Being as they're checksum errors - they probably won't be logged on the 
console (as ZFS detected them, and not nesc. the underlying CAM layers) - 
but worth checking in case something "isn't happy".

With that in mind - you might also want to check if there's anything in 
common with da3 and da6 - either in the physical drives, or where they are 
on the DSL320's drive bay/box allocations, as shown by the RAID controller 
config (F8 at boot time when the RAID is init'ing).
