Description Julien Nury 2005-11-18 19:10:28 UTC 
When attempting to write on drives (in install program for example)
connected to an HighPoint RocketRAID 1520 (HPT372N Chipset with last
firmware) controller board the following errors appear:

ad6: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=5<ABORTED,ILLEGAL_LENGHT> LBA=63
ar0: WARNING - mirror protection lost. RAID1 array in DEGRADED mode
ad4: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=5<ABORTED,ILLEGAL_LENGHT> LBA=9
ada4: write metadata failed
ad4: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=5<ABORTED,ILLEGAL_LENGHT> LBA=63
ar0: FAILURE - RAID1 array broken

.. and leads to unavailability of the drives.

Read is OK
Same error with no RAID
No error with the same machine and FreeBSD 5.4

To submitter:  Firstly, I'm sorry that this PR has sat for so long without 
anyone looking at it.  Can you tell me, is this still a problem with newer 
versions of FreeBSD?

As per request, I can recreate this bug on demand by enabling DMA and 
attempting to read/write from the drives

ataraid is no more after FreeBSD 9.x. Long live atacam, graid3, and friends.
