Software RAID0 IO error



Good Day List,

Xserve G4
OS X 10.4.9
Xserve RAID, 2 LUN's of 6X250GB HDD's striped via Apple RAID 1.
Direct connected via copper SFP-SFP cables.

During periods of high IO (I think) RAID volume unmounts.

system.log:

One of the LUN's is no longer available to the OS. Restart, and the volume
mounts as expected.

$ diskutil verifyVolume

indicates volume does not need repair.

Once volume is restored:

$ diskutil checkRAID

This happens consistently when an rsync cron job is enabled. Therefore it is
currently disabled. Also, I believe a Retrospect job triggered the behavior
and log entries above. I have only witnessed this behavior under these 2
scenarios.

There are no errors with the underlying LUN's in RAID Admin.

Using /bin/dd to write to the volume results in 127.89 MB/s.

The HBA has been replaced and the behavior remains.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,
