hi recently upgraded the kernel from 2.6.32-bpo.4 to -bpo.5 on Debian Lenny. Since then, the tape drives don't work anymore. after some time writing to tape, it stopps working. I then compiled a vanilla 2.6.35.2 kernel to verify that the problem still exists - and it does (log below). debian kernel 2.6.32-bpo.4 is IMHO 2.6.32.11+patches debian kernel 2.6.32-bpo.5 is IMHO 2.6.32.15+patches Hardware: *Areca ARC-1300ix-16 (mvsas) * Quantum LTO-4 tape drives connected with SAS (1x standalone, 1x SuperLoader3 with Drive) - both having problems. - Thomas kernel messages from 2.6.35.2 (vanilla kernel.org): [ 1.303780] mvsas 0000:03:00.0: mvsas: driver version 0.8.2 [ 1.304219] mvsas 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 1.304349] mvsas 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 1.306623] mvsas 0000:03:00.0: mvsas: PCI-E x4, Bandwidth Usage: 2.5 Gbps [ 4.047535] scsi1 : mvsas [ 4.047961] drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c 1260:set wide port phy map 1 [ 4.057892] drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c 1260:set wide port phy map 3 [ 4.077741] drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c 1260:set wide port phy map 7 [ 4.107512] drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c 1260:set wide port phy map f ...
