--- Comment #32 from Matthias Koenig 2007-08-22 02:29:15 MST ---
I have seen some possibly related segfault issue on the ataraid list.
I got the following response from Intel:
"The S5000VSA board should have BIOS/orom support for ISW metadata, any
reason why DDF is being used?
Jason Gaston and Ying Fang released a patch fixing a segfault issue when
using ISW metadata, perhaps there is a similar issue with DDF.

I am wondering why your RAID is detected as DDF1 format, according to this
information it should be ISW format. There has been work by Intel on better ISW
support for dmraid.
Can you figure out, if it is possible to configure your RAID in a way it will
be in ISW format? Or can you describe how you configured your RAID and why it
is ddf1 and not isw? Do you use the the onboard RAID functionality or do you
have an additional add-in card?
I got another reply from Intel, which might help:
"If you can risk loosing the array set, you could enable the S5000VSA's
onboard RAID support (assuming that there is not an add-in card being
used).
Buried in the BIOS of the S5000VSA is an option to enable RAID. Select
Advanced -> ATA Controller Configuration -> set On board SATA Controller
as Enabled -> set SATA Mode as Enhanced -> set Configure SATA as RAID as
Enabled.
This just enables the 'Intel RAID option ROM' which can then be used to
create an ISW RAID set. Then you can use the ISW segfault patch..."
In this case I could apply the Intel patches, which might resolve this issue.
