    Good evening.

    Recently I setup a free bsd 5.3-amd64 box with dual opterons and 1GB of ram.

    I constructed a RAID 5 array using the HPT rocketraid 1640, conisiting
    of 4 disks, each with 200GB capacity.

    Everything worked well, until I installed and ran Samba from the ports
    collection.

    Now, apparently whenever I transfer with samba, the computer freezes for
    a few moments, then an array comes back, stating:

    Mar 24 13:14:12 tie kernel: hpt374: Device removed: controller 1 channel 3
    Mar 24 13:14:12 tie kernel: hpt374: Device removed: controller 1 channel 1

    The weird thing is, I transferred over 15GB of data over FTP, but the
    second I used Samba (which is usually faster, which is why i switched to
    it), the controller stated the two drives disconnected.

    How come I can transfer 15GB one way, and nothing the other?

    Now my RAID array is broken, and I lost all the data on it (which is ok,
    since I have it backed up). But this is my 2nd time doing this today,
    thinking maybe the first time was a fluke.

    as you can see, not much installed. I just rebuilt this box last night
