Hi, On my HP-DL180-G6 with a HP Smart Array P212. I can reliably trigger a controller lockup by running smartctl. I'm trying to monitor my HDD temps using: for ((i=0; i<8; i++)) ; do smartctl -d cciss,$i -a /dev/sg0 | grep ^194 ; done | awk '{t=$10; if (t > T) T = t;} END {print T}' After a few of those runs, I get: [ 1540.277776] hpsa 0000:06:00.0: Controller lockup detected: 0x00150028 And my disks are gone. With linux 3.16 the whole kernel came down with NMI watchdog timeouts / RCU stalls in the detect_lockup() worklet. On linux 4.0 those appear to be gone, but the controller isn't coming back either. It this a known 'feature'; is there anything I can do to help diagnose/fix this issue? ~ Peter -- 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
