My experience is that snv_75 and _86 was as stable as could be.

I have found that there is SATA corruption in Marvell88sx drivers, would
recommend either Sun hardware if going SATA or stick with IDE or SCSI
drives otherwise.

They also re-worked the iSCSI code as well, I don't know how well it
works at this point.

Cordially
