sata_sil problems

We have been having some problems with one of our internal email server here at Pancentric Central (www.pancentric.com). Silly data corruption errors that happen with some regularity. Not such a problem you'd think except they tend to take out the whole disk!

It seems that the problem is related to using Maxtor or Seagate SATA disks with a Silicon Image SATA controller.

We are resorting to an old config until we can get this fixed properly. Google for "sata_sil errors" if you get anything like the error below

write error - auto reallocation failed
