Hi James, disrupting a working FC connection makes my i386 SMP server (2.6.12.2) freeze just one or two seconds after this. I'm normally using lpfc_nodev_tmo = 1. When I change this to the default value of 35, the system stalls about 36 seconds after disruption. So I guess, the problem is caused by nodev_tmo expiring. I activated the nmi_watchdog, but no output. What can I do to analyze this problem? Regards Bodo BTW: I couldn't reproduce the problem of a wrong WWPN yet. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
