Bug Description
Server with the Promise Supertrak EX 8350 functions fine in 9.04 (i386).
After a fresh install of 10.04 (i386):
* Random files become corrupt
* Running mkfs on storage1 or storage2 hang the system, forcing a reboot (ext4 and xfs.) After a couple minutes, we will receive an error message about process hang timeout 120 seconds and an echo command to disable this message.
* System can take abnormal amount of time to mount /
* "on-boot" fsck come back fine
System layout:
/dev/sda1: 256 MB ext2 (mnt /boot)
/dev/sda2: 2TB lvm
/dev/sdb1: 2TB lvm
/dev/sdc1: 1.6TB lvm
LVG: 5.6TB
LV system: 8 GB ext4 (mnt /)
LV swap: 2 GB swap
LV storage1: 1.4TB xfs

I have similar problems with 10.04. 9.04 worked fine, 10.04 I'm getting read errors and controller resets. Anything write-related seems fine, but read-intensive transactions seem to have big problems. Definitely getting corrupted files/data too.
