Unfortunately I have some other work for you. After changing the
BIOS-setting to AHCI, I tried gvinum with 6.4 again. And strangely
enough it worked. No freeze with newfs and I could copy several GB to
the volumes, but after a reboot gvinum list looks like that:

| D sata3                 State: up       /dev/ad10       A: 9/476939 MB (0%)
| D sata2                 State: up       /dev/ad8        A: 9/476939 MB (0%)
| D sata1                 State: up       /dev/ad4        A: 9/476939 MB (0%)
| 
| 2 volumes:
| V homes_raid5           State: down     Plexes:       1 Size:        465 GB
| V dump_raid5            State: down     Plexes:       1 Size:        465 GB
| 
| 2 plexes:
| P homes_raid5.p0     R5 State: down     Subdisks:     3 Size:        465 GB
| P dump_raid5.p0      R5 State: down     Subdisks:     3 Size:        465 GB
| 
| 6 subdisks:
| S homes_raid5.p0.s0     State: stale    D: sata1        Size:        232 GB
| S homes_raid5.p0.s1     State: stale    D: sata2        Size:        232 GB
| S homes_raid5.p0.s2     State: stale    D: sata3        Size:        232 GB
| S dump_raid5.p0.s0      State: stale    D: sata1        Size:        232 GB
| S dump_raid5.p0.s1      State: stale    D: sata2        Size:        232 GB
| S dump_raid5.p0.s2      State: stale    D: sata3        Size:        232 GB

Then we updated to FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE, but nothing changed. After a
reboot the volumes are down. In dmesg I found
g_vfs_done():gvinum/dump_raid5[READ(offset=65536, length=8192)]error = 6
but I think, that occurred during a try to mount a volume.
