Justin,

This just means the firmware didn't complete an ioctl in 60 seconds.

Can try changing this define in 3w-9xxx.h:

#define TW_IOCTL_CHRDEV_TIMEOUT               60 /* 60 seconds */

to 90 or 120 seconds to see if that fixes your issue?

Thanks,

Hi Adam,

Thanks for responding!

LSI just got back to me on a second case, their latest beta firmware:
http://www.lsi.com/DistributionSystem/AssetDocument/readme.txt

SCR 2196:  Unexpected controller soft resets
Fixed an issue with regards to deferral of write and read commands to help eliminate unexpected soft resets.

Well well!

Plan of action:

1. See if the error recurs without 'nobarrier' - only because there are some threads about problems when this is enabled on 3ware controllers.

2. LSI recommended I disconnect/replace my BBU module, I already did once before, ~$120, so the next step I will apply their latest Beta firmware.

3. If it STILL does it, I can increase the timeout, HOWEVER, when I see this, I/O on the system, everything locks up for 60-120-180-360 seconds and then it comes back after it resets the controller. The weird thing is this controller is only for a /data volume and not the root filesystem. The root filesystem is on a separate RAID-1 4 port card (also w/BBU).

If you google that exact error, there is very little information, if I find something that works, I'll update the list so others have something to point to when they see this problem.

Justin.
