>Description:
Server lock when using drive da1 or da2

MB and Firmwares are all latest from HP.

I'm able to reproduce this problem on a HP Proliant DL360 G5 quad amd64 8G ram using a ciss0: <HP Smart Array P400i> card. The problem is also on 3 different Proliant DL380 G3 i386 machines 4G ram using ciss0: <Compaq Smart Array 5i> cards.

The drive configurations don't seam to affect the issue. The G5 has 3 drive in JBOD configuration and the G3's have 2 raid0+1 sets.
>How-To-Repeat:
setup drive da1 or da2

# newfs -U /dev/da1s1d
# mount /dev/da1s1d /mnt

now copy some data.. 
# cp -rpv /usr/src /mnt

the box will hang and a reset is needed to reboot it.
>Fix:
Use an older kernel or 8.0-RELEASE-p2. I notice a change to the ciss.c driver in Feb, 2010.
