In specific we use a X9DRI-F board here and always have raid timeouts which get logged like this in dmesg: > Apr 9 13:02:32 n2 kernel: [1424821.906227] aacraid: Host adapter abort request (0,0,0,0) > Apr 9 13:02:32 n2 kernel: [1424821.906295] aacraid: Host adapter reset request.

However, the latest upstream version of this driver is 1.2-0[30000]-ms, which will presumaby be good enough. Unfortunately this is now unlikely to be done before the release of Debian 7.0, but it can be included in an update shortly afterward.
