Me too.  I had something similar over a year ago - my hardware works
fine with NetBSD (and previously Linux) but as soon as I turned RAID 1
on I got bad file descriptors all over the place, just doing a "cvs up"
with anoncvs.netbsd.org.  I posted about this but no-one really
commented, so I've reverted to using them as two separate disks.  Had
no problems since with the same hardware; I've not tried RAID 1 again.
