After updating to 5.2-BETA when the disk on the Pormise controler is accessed,
the system stalls (>10s) frequently (~ once per 5 min) and the overall
throughput dropped to around 1-2 MB/s.

Although it's only one disk, it's accessed via /dev/ar0,
and the disk is also the Slave and there is no master.
This worked on 5.1 without any problems.
