Re: RAID mismatches (and reporting thereof)

Out of interest, what systems are you seeing mismatches on?  Most of the 
ones I've seen are on LSI1068* SAS controllers (with SATA drives, but 
not sure if that counts for anything, don't use many SAS drives) 
including the Dell SAS5* and SAS6* series.  I suspect there are some 
corner cases where they corrupt data on disk.  Should open a kernel.org 
bug really, so that LSI can ignore the issue in public...
MS-7376 ("MSI K9A2 Platinum") motherboard, with 2500 MHz quad-core
Phenom & 8 GiB ECC DDR2.  There are 6 SATA ports, 4 on the SB600 and 2
on a Promise PDC42819:

00:14.1 IDE interface [0101]: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 IDE [1002:438c]
04:00.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC42819 [FastTrak TX2650/TX4650] [105a:3f20]

I used to have a different motherboard, with 3x SiI 3132 PCIe adapters:
01:00.0 Mass storage controller [0180]: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3132 Serial ATA Raid II Controller [1095:3132] (rev 01)
02:00.0 Mass storage controller [0180]: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3132 Serial ATA Raid II Controller [1095:3132] (rev 01)

The drives are all ST3400832AS, installed in a SuperMicro SC833 case's
hot-swap bays.

I have a clone machine (same MB, CPU, and RAM, but different case and
ST3750330AS drives) that's giving me no problems.  Thus the recent
decision to swap drives and rebuild the array.
