Request for testing: ata(4) MFC

[Goran Lowkrantz]

Ok, I was not sure if this was a "No news is good news" request.

Attached are the lspci:s of the MB and devices I have had the pleasure of 
testing. I have found nothing bad on these once but please remember that I 
had to hack the nVidia MCP67-A1 to have it accepted as a SATA and AHCI 
controller.

All controllers have had large copy in/out, backups at file-system level 
via dump/zfs snapshot and tar and all have had bonny++ tests done.

On AHCI controllers, I have at least remove and re-inserted one disk of a 
zpool.

Cheers,
	Göran

Best regards,
	Göran L
