Known problem with the 2300.
I've tried every combinaison possible of firmware and drive without
avail.
Even geom with raid confirguration would replicate the problem.
I suggest that you go with a 3ware device which works perfectly in
my cases
(Production servers).
Or a PDC20378 which also work perfectly with 5.4 here.
(dont know about 6+ and kinda scare to try it.)
Good luck.
