Hi
Whenever I move big files (>2gb) on the raid 1 I get these errors:

This is quite repeatable and the bigger the files the more I get. If a really big file then the system freezes and needs to be hard reset.
This happens all the time with MySQL, mysqldump fails due to lockup on large files. Also MySql performance is not as fast as it should be.
I have rebuilt the machine back to windows 2008 and stress tested with these disks in software raid and no issues and the performance is exceptionally fast. Now rebuilt back to Debian and still the same issue arising.
Smart shows no issues with these disks also.
If I put the data on the non mirrored drives in Debian and try then no problems at all and data access is fast.
I have flashed the Mb to the latest version and replaced all the sata cables but no improvement.
This looks like a bug to me, anybody have any ideas?
Kind regards
