Nope. I looked through his netdump and couldn't find a thing that was helpful. Now he's clearly using MD (not LVM), and I'd use the standard HOWTO troubleshooting to try to revolve.
But, otherwise, the use of the 3Ware card for drives in JBOD and MD atop just making me scratch my head. I guess using it for hot-swap is somewhat of a reason, but it just seems like a waste.
BTW, now one thing I _have_ seen a lot of people complain about with 3Ware cards is when they were using software RAID-5 on them. Especially in the early 2.4.x series, now possibly the early 2.6.x as well -- all MD issues, not 3Ware card issues.
