Problem with zraid (disappears)

[woger]

Hi there,
I have a problem with a disappearing zraid configuration. I have a freenas server (8.02-RELEASE-amd64 (8288)) based on a asrock e350m/USB3 motherboard and 3 Samsung HD204UI. The problem I have is that after a restart the server runs for 1 or 2 days and then the zraid disappears and running ftp sessions get suck. the ftp server crashes and the server doesn't even reboot any more (ends with something like: "some services could not be killed"). I have to do a hard reboot then.
I get a lot of these errors:
kernel: xptioctl: pass driver is not in the kernel
kernel: xptioctl: put "device pass" in your kernel config file
and dmesg showed me also these errors:
ahcich0: Timeout on slot 6 port 0
ahcich0: is 00000000 cs 000001c0 ss 000001c0 rs 000001c0 tfd 80 serr 00000000
ahcich0: AHCI reset: device not ready after 31000ms (tfd = 00000080)
with varying slot numbers

Does anybody know how I can "repair" this?

Thanks,
Roger

I think you mean RAID-Z and not zraid.

You my try switching from AHCI to IDE mode for your controller on BIOS, but then you lose hot-swap.

Yes,
sorry, raidz offcourse.
I have some problems with the board at the moment, so I will first change the motherboard and see if it solves these problems also.

raidz1 to be exactly ;-)
anyway, changed the motherboard but still the same problem. What I did see is that the timeouts where always on port 0 but different slots. Does that mean that another harddisk is failing?

BTW, swapping from ahci to ide disn't help. The drives are from 7-11 so I guess the firmware isn't a problem.
