--- Comment #11 from Stonefish <[email protected]> 2011-07-04 22:44:11 --- Greetings all,

I'm receiving a very similar problem to this, and have been doing so ever since I got three of those same Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 cards six months back. I'm currently running just one, but that doesn't help.

I've created a software raid5, and it's usable. When this error strikes, it does recover. IO performance drops to zero for about a minute or three, but it does come back. Almost always :)
I've tried several kernels since about 2.6.34, vanilla and gentoo alike. Currently on 2.6.39.2.

I was able to write some 140GB of random data to the array yesterday, and it didn't fail until I started running a kvm instance and writing to the virtual disk on it. That kills it every time.
If I don't write large quantities of the data to the array, it remains quite stable. I'm able to read at excellent speeds.
The disks are Seagate ST31500341AS

I'll attach a log file. Is there anything else anyone needs?

Cheers.

That's the entire output of /var/log/messages from the time it fails.

--- Comment #13 from [email protected] 2011-07-05 08:25:37 --- Hello,

it seems my problem is also related to the mvsas driver/scsi subsystem:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1150608

I can reproduce the problem with a simple:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc

I tested this with the newest stable kernel 2.6.39.2 and two different enterprise SATA drives:
* Seagate Constellation ES
* Hitachi Ultrastar 7k3000

I'd like to help debugging this.
Please give some instructions.

Lars

--- Comment #14 from Stonefish <[email protected]> 2011-07-11 04:56:49 --- Please note that I've updated to the latest firmware on the AOC-SASLP-MV8, and it didn't help any.

--- Comment #15 from [email protected] 2011-07-14 10:40:58 --- Hi,

I've tested the newsest 3.0-rc7 version and still get the errors. I'll attach the dmesg output.

The crash was provoked with:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc

* ARECA ARC1300 SAS HBA with latest firmware
* Hitachi Ultrastar 7k3000 SATA disks
* 64 bit kernel
* mvsas driver
