Have just rebooted 4 times with CVS as of about an hour ago and all good.

Switched back to smartmontools-5.38-2.fc9.x86_64 and rebooted, just to 
be sure - arrays are now resyncing again as a result of the damage...

Do you know what was causing the trouble?

Richard

That is correct - smartmontools-5.38-2.fc9.x86_64 faults consistently
and CVS has not, over 4 reboots.

Regards,

Richard

And as I can see, this happens more frequently if smart monitoring 
enabled on controller.

Sorry, I did not understand the answer.

Do you see this behavior all the time on all ports or only some of the 
time on some ports?  In other words, do you *sometimes* get sensible SMART 
output, or never?

What you did not understand? I said: I have about 30 errors per 24 hours 
on different (all) disks. There are 14 disks in PC. Check interval of 
smartd is 1800 seconds. That means that in other 642 (24*3600/1800*14 - 
30) times I've got positive answers from controller.
