Blah... I unplugged my arc-1170 while shuffling things around in the case. And now my machine refuses to post with it attached. Web interface doesn't appear to be coming up either.
I'm now extremely frustrated, but might as well check. Do the various areca cards use the same on-disk layouts...
I'm having an issue with extremely poor read/write performance, but only when I copy from a RAID5 array to a passthrough disk. Running FreeBSD 11 over an (yes, it's old) Areca 1170. Mostly I've been using dd to try to figure out what's happening.
`dd if=/mnt/array/testfile of=/dev/zero`...
