Hi Srinivas (and others),
I'm still having troubles with SATA disks using the mvsas driver. Maybe
you read my previous posts about the WD disks.
The problem is easyly recreated:
1) Create a software raidset (i used a 5 disk raid6 as a test)
2) Create an XFS filesystem on it. (mkfs.xfs -f /dev/md0)
I used the 2.6.32 kernel source using your patch.
I get these messages:
[ 5855.816019] drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c 1631:mvs_query_task:rc= 5 [

[ 7201.988276] ata18: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
Especially the latest 3 messages I got loads more of those on another set
of disks. The creation of an XFS filesystem can take up to 15 minutes in
stead of the normal 15 seconds!
When I use the stock 2.6.32 kernel driver without your patch i get these
errors:

So there has definatly changed something with the patch.
Further more during the detection of disks during boot I get these
messages for almost any SATA disk:
Mar 31 14:34:17 test ata_id[3752]: main: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for
'/dev/.tmp-8-112'
Mar 31 14:34:17 test ata_id[3765]: main: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for
'/dev/.tmp-8-128'
If you need more info let me know.
Kind regards,
Caspar Smit
