I'm having trouble with arcmsr. I have an ARC-1280 as follows: CLI> sys info The System Information =========================================== Main Processor : 800MHz CPU ICache Size : 32KB CPU DCache Size : 32KB System Memory : 256MB/533MHz Firmware Version : V1.43 2007-4-17 BOOT ROM Version : V1.43 2007-4-17 Serial Number : Y650CAAWAR800029 Controller Name : ARC-1280 Current IP Address : 192.168.1.100 =========================================== GuiErrMsg<0x00>: Success.

I'm running: Linux think 2.6.18-5-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 30 01:14:54 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux. The version of arcmsr is 1.20.00.13. The problem is that the machine intermittently hangs after emitting this message: Jun 11 20:04:22 think kernel: arcmsr2: abort device command of scsi id=0 lun=1 Jun 11 20:08:07 think kernel: arcmsr2: abort device command of scsi id=0 lun=1 Jun 11 20:09:26 think kernel: arcmsr2: abort device command of scsi id=0 lun=1 Jun 11 20:09:26 think last message repeated 2 times Jun 11 20:15:25 think kernel: arcmsr2: abort device command of scsi id=0 lun=1 Jun 11 20:15:27 think kernel: arcmsr2: ccb='0xffff810037f222c0' isr got aborted command Jun 11 20:15:31 think kernel: arcmsr2: abort device command of scsi id=0 lun=1 Jun 11 20:15:37 think last message repeated 8 times Jun 11 20:15:46 think kernel: arcmsr2: ccb='0xffff810037f25f80' isr got aborted command That is the last console message. Afterwards, the machine is non-responsive, i.e. hung and needs a hard reset. Is there anything in the latest driver that would fix this? Further complicating my problem is the fact that the ARC-1280 has this completely useless SMART output: CLI> disk smart drv=1~8 Message: Drive #01 == >Off-Line Data Collection Is In The Progress... Message: Drive #02 == >Off-Line Data Collection Is In The Progress... Message: Drive #03 == >Off-Line Data Collection Is In The Progress... Message: Drive #04 == >Off-Line Data Collection Is In The Progress... Message: Drive #05 == >Off-Line Data Collection Is In The Progress...

Message: Drive #08 == >Off-Line Data Collection Is In The Progress... GuiErrMsg<0x00>: Success. It _always_ says that. I can never get SMART status on any of my drives, and therefore I don't know if they've failed or what. I also can't run self-tests when they are in this state: CLI> disk sttest drv=8 ErrMsg: Drive 8 Is Not Available Please help. -jwb -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
