Server Crash

[Boulytchev, Vasiliy]

HMMMMM,  we have moved the drives to the same box = same problem..........
Are we thinking kernel version is just not compiled right for that adaptec
raid controller?

We run 2 2650s with MailScanner (scsi disks/hardware raid 1) On a couple of
occassions over the last year we've seen 1 of them die with disk i/o errors
on the console - nothing is logged.

The machine recovers after a hard reboot, fsck says it's happy and it's back
online again. Not good.. I suspect the disk or adaptec card is having some
trouble keeping up with the i/o, but it's very random.
