Christian, Make sure you are running the latest 3ware firmware. After that, contact 3ware/AMCC support if you still see any issues. -Adam On 10/10/06, Christian Schmid <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hello. We are right now having a 360 TB Raid-system with 3-Ware controllers. Unfortunately there are 2 ways a disk can fail: A complete sudden fail, which results in a immediate shutdown of the disk, causing the array to continue in degraded mode (raid5), and the soft-fail, which results in a complete hang of the system, the system always prints errors of timeout sending command, card was resetted. A hard-remove of the drive clears the problem, but I dont think thats supposed to be that way, is it? The warnings below keep printed for hours, until the drive is removed. In this time the IOs hang.
