Thats the problem he was trying to get away from. the MV8 controller likes
to offline disks when a few smart commands arrive. at least with the main
kernel drivers. But then the main kernel mvsas drivers decide to give up if
you even attempt to start a raid array on them. The controller locks up and
you have to reboot. Most of the time a reboot even fails when it tries to
sync the block devices, so a hard reset is in order.
OK, I did not know the Marvell controller also has a problem with
smartmontools.
In his original post he mentions it having problems with mdadm:
"(mdadm freaks out on it and the controller drops the drives - there has
been discussion of the problem on the list. Seems to be a mvsas driver
problem but seems to surface only under mdadm use.)"
