I am having a real hard time with gmirror. I recently bought two new

directions, but I am not sure.

I have seen lockups, spontaneous reboots, corrupt filsystems on 6.0 and
6.2

trigger:

1.a disk io with rsync / scp > say coping > 100Gb
1.b making backup with tar
2. full filesystems

setup:
-ata controller card
-two ata disks (250Gb)

Try hunting around for the latest VIA test BIOS for the ITX M-series miniboards (check the viaarea.com web-forums, IIRC)...before updating to it, I tended to see fairly reproducible data corruption whenever accessing two or more IDE devices at the same time on a 600MHz VIA C3 ITX system.
