Hello,
I'm seeing something strange on a Supermicro 847E16-R1400. It has SAS
expanders
with SATA disks behind them (Seagate Barracuda XT). The SAS card is a
LSI SAS9211-8i.
When doing disk IO on the disks (they are all configured in MD raids)
suddenly IO will
stop and these messages are printed on the console about once every second:
mpt2sas0: log_info(0x31110610): originator(PL), code(0x11), sub_code(0x0610)
From what I understand this means:
PL_LOGINFO_CODE_RESET (0x00110000)
PL_LOGINFO_SUB_CODE_SATA_NON_NCQ_RW_ERR_BIT_SET (0x00000600)
So a disk is acting up, generating errors? What does the last "10" mean
in the sub_code,
is that an identifier for which disk it is?
After some time, the message changed:
mpt2sas0: log info(0x31111000): originator(PL), code(0x11), sub code(0x1000)
Now the disk seems to have died completely?
PL_LOGINFO_CODE_RESET (0x00110000)
PL_LOGINFO_SUB_CODE_DSCVRY_SATA_INIT_TIMEOUT (0x00001000)
What bothers me is that the machine is just hanging there with IO
blocking for the disk
in question (I guess, this was gong on for several hours) there was no
SCSI-errors and the
drive in question was not ejected from the MD array. After rebooting it
started to rebuild
the MD array, promptly got stuck again and just sat there until the disk
was removed from
the array and it was restarted again.
This was with a stock Debian Squeeze kernel
(linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64). I got the exact same
thing with a vanilla 3.0.1 from kernel.org.
Regards,
Fredrik Lindgren
