Hi James, We are investigating this issue here. We will update the status when we can duplicate the problem here and root cause. Thanks!

I put the patch, which seems fine, into scsi-misc-2.6; however, it looks like the firmware isn't fine. With the V28 firmware I get instability on my directly attached SATA disk. It begins about three minutes into a small exercise of the filesystem on the disk as: Feb 3 16:13:50 localhost kernel: sas: command 0xf7aca994, task 0x00000000, gone: EH_RESET_TIMER and then times out commands and eventually flips ext3 into read only mode because of the errors. If I run the same tests with the V17/10c6 firmware, everything runs fine and to completion.
