I'm becoming less conviced this is an XFS problem, and am thinking there
might be some issues with the 'stacking' of the new SATA drivers,
software RAID5, and LVM2 in linux. I'm still doing testing, and if
possible am going to try a 2.6 kernel, LVM1 (instead of LVM2), and the
kernel from debian-stable (if it will talk to my NForce2 chipset and
SiImage SATA controllers).
are u talking about the siimage or the sata_sil driver?
I remember jgarzik posting about data corruption with sata_sil recently
on lkml.

I'm running the siimage module, not the sata_sil, but it looks like I am
using the 'quirky' si3112 chipset (x2 - 1 PCI plug-in-card and 1 on the
motherboard).
I'm currently trying to figure out if the problem is with the controller
or not. The odd thing, is I wasn't having any problems prior to getting
the second controller (PCI card) and 2 more drives (after running out of
space on my ext3-on-LVM-on-RAID1 setup with 2x 160G drives).
Anyone got a recomendation for a stable/fast SATA controller to use with
linux?
