Re: Areca driver recap + status

- PAE (cast of dma_addr_t to unsigned long) issues.

Can you explain a bit what this is about and what the effect is? It's just that we've been using the driver (older version from the areca website) in a PAE kernel on machines with 8G of memory and haven't had a problem yet (running high IO load for several weeks) but this sounds like it might/should cause corruption or crashing in this situation?
