Ever since I started using my Areca ARC-1280 controller with a 12 disk RAID 6 array my NAS is generating error messages. At the moment is doesn't look to effect the performance, stability of the system or generates corrupt files, but I would like to find out what is going on. The errors don't happen frequently, but just a couple a times per day.
The RAID 6 array and the Areca card are properly configured (as far as I can see). No errors are reported by the Areca internal event viewer, so it looks to be a FreeBSD error. I'm using the latest firmware and FreeBSD drivers for the controller.
Areca RAID 6 array overview:
Boot message FreeBSD 8.1 (dmesg.today):
Error message in FreeBSD 8.1 (messages):
The Areca controller has a total of 13 disks. 12 of them are in the RAID 6 array and 1 is configured as a pass-through disk. The error above is only generated by the RAID 6 array and not by the pass-through disk.
Geom name: da0 (RAID 6 array)
Geom name: da1 (Pass-through)
I looked everywhere for a solution, but no luck. Hopefully you can help me with this error. Let me know if you need additional information or log-files. Thanks in advance.
