I'm seeing freezing issues doing 3-way mirrors across mainboard ICH10R (6 SATA 150/300 ports), and two SYBA SY-PEX-40008 cards (4 Port Internal SATA II ports).
Is there an issue with the si3124 (Sil3124) driver in oi151a? I noticed a thread mentioning maybe something was broken from older versions of the driver.

Oh, I wonder when they broke the driver then. It was okay for me ages ago...I last used it on a box with an ON version before 2008.05 though. Does anyone have any new insights into the si3124 driver? Could the issue be related to the fact that I am spanning my zpool across three different controllers, as opposed to dedicating each zpool to a specific device? Do I need to down-grade the driver for greater stability? Any insights as to where I could look to begin troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. Especially as the system is freezing, where would I setup and check for a system dump? It would be nice to confirm it is actually the storage system at fault.
