Hello all.
I have a 3Ware 5800 8-port ATA controller running on the 3w-xxxx driver, which
works nicely for the most part.
However, recently the controller has been flaky - it keeps losing all sync
with the machine, then coughs and dies. After a hard reset it works for some
time again.
I was hoping you could tell me if there is anything I should check? Also, I'm
wondering is the driver is behaving correctly? Shouldn't it try to reset the
card?
Anyway, here are the details:
Kernel: anything from 2.6.10-custom to 2.6.15-debian-sarge-stock
Arch: tested on AMD x86 SMP and UP, with and without highmem
Here's the log output just before the thing goes "boink":

Does anybody know what command 0x28 is? Maybe it's one of the 8 drives that is
broken, and the controller is not telling me?
Here's /proc/scsi/scsi

The two first entries are real SCSI-disks. the last 8 are the 3ware-controlled
disks, of course. The SCSI subsystem still seems to think they're connected?
I've tried the scsi-rescan-bus.sh-script, but it just agrees with /proc/scsi,
in that it thinks the drives are still connected - and so it does nothing. Is
there a utility that can kick && reconnect a scsi-device?
I'd be really interested in _any_ comments. I've ordered a couple of cheap
2-port ATA133 controllers in the meantime, which I'm going to have to use in
master-slave configuration. Oh the horror :-/
I'd be willing to test almost anything that doesn't involve erasing data on
the drives.
P.S: (recently), things often fail with this card. But not always with command
0x28:
