I'm currently using Debian Lenny with 2.6.36-rc3. The errors still continue to appear, I am using 2x Supermicro SASLP-MV8 with 8x2TB drives and another server with 1 controller and 7 drives, both in a raid6 setup. The following errors keep appearing on random drives: [159834.848088] drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c 1703:<7>mv_abort_task() mvi=ffff88011b800000 task=ffff880005456100 slot=ffff88011b826788 slot_idx=x7 [159834.848094] drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c 1632:mvs_query_task:rc= 5 [159834.848110] drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c 2083:port 1 ctrl sts=0x89800.

I have notice that if I run "mdadm --detail /dev/md0" the array immediately unhangs and continues as normal. If I do nothing the array will hang for 10-15 seconds before continuing as normal. The disks don't drop out of the array, but the freezes are driving me insane. -Wouter -- 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
