The machine tended to lock up after a random period of time (from a few minutes upwards), without any messages. Performing a smartctl on all the disks, or leaving smartd running, seemed to speed up the rate at which the crash occurred. What I found was that by moving the sata_mv device onto it's own bus (or a bus with two sata_mv devices), the crashes went away. Are you doing tests with the controller sharing a bus with other devices? Is there an merit to my observation that it might be an issue with devices sharing a PCI-X bus?
