After much more research and reading, I believe I've found the root issue
causing the communication timeouts to the disks. I have not changed any cables
(other than reseating everything).

I came across several reports of marvell (mvsas) controllers randomly causing
issues with load, which mentioned SMART.

So I decided to stop smartd and try my load tests.

I have now gone through three iterations of high-load zfs scrubs along with
iotest.sh hammering the array simultaneously with no timeouts or communications
issues. I believe this indicates some issue with the driver/controller/disks
handling smart commands during load.

Do you have any recommendations as how I can test this further? Is there any
debug info I can provide?
