I had nothing but troubles with it for a good year or two or possibly more and it was never fixed or really acknowledged, so I sold that card (a supermicro aoc-saslp-mv8) and picked up a IBM m1015 (LSI 9211-8i a-like) and haven't looked back. Basically it would reset a lot, and lock up. AND I believe it caused a lot of silent corruption as well. > ______________________________________________________ > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: Enter sas_scsi_recover_host busy: 6 > failed: 6 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: trying to find task 0xffff8bda8d2bd900 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: aborting task > 0xffff8bda8d2bd900 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: task done but aborted > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: task > 0xffff8bda8d2bd900 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_eh_handle_sas_errors: task > 0xffff8bda8d2bd900 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: trying to find task 0xffff8bda8d2bce00 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: aborting task > 0xffff8bda8d2bce00 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: task done but aborted > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: task > 0xffff8bda8d2bce00 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_eh_handle_sas_errors: task > 0xffff8bda8d2bce00 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: trying to find task 0xffff8bda8d2bd700 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: aborting task > 0xffff8bda8d2bd700 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: task done but aborted > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: task > 0xffff8bda8d2bd700 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_eh_handle_sas_errors: task > 0xffff8bda8d2bd700 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: trying to find task 0xffff8bda8d2bde00 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: aborting task > 0xffff8bda8d2bde00 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: task done but aborted > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: task > 0xffff8bda8d2bde00 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_eh_handle_sas_errors: task > 0xffff8bda8d2bde00 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: trying to find task 0xffff8bda8d2bdc00 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: aborting task > 0xffff8bda8d2bdc00 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: task done but aborted > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: task > 0xffff8bda8d2bdc00 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_eh_handle_sas_errors: task > 0xffff8bda8d2bdc00 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: trying to find task 0xffff8bdcb0298800 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: aborting task > 0xffff8bdcb0298800 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: task done but aborted > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: task > 0xffff8bdcb0298800 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_eh_handle_sas_errors: task > 0xffff8bdcb0298800 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: --- Exit sas_scsi_recover_host: busy: 0 > failed: 6 tries: 1 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c 1694:reuse same > slot, retry command. > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c 1694:reuse same > slot, retry command. > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c 1694:reuse same > slot, retry command. > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: Enter sas_scsi_recover_host busy: 2 > failed: 2 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: trying to find task 0xffff8bdb9453ae00 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: aborting task > 0xffff8bdb9453ae00 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: task done but aborted > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: task > 0xffff8bdb9453ae00 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_eh_handle_sas_errors: task > 0xffff8bdb9453ae00 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: trying to find task 0xffff8bdb9453b000 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: aborting task > 0xffff8bdb9453b000 > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: task done but aborted > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_scsi_find_task: task > 0xffff8bdb9453b000 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: sas_eh_handle_sas_errors: task > 0xffff8bdb9453b000 is done > 23/12/16 8:29 kernel sas: --- Exit sas_scsi_recover_host: busy: 0 > failed: 2 tries: 1 > ____________________________________________________________________________ > ______________ > > Sometimes shorter sometimes larger. > It looks like a controller/drive/cable problem? > Any thoughts? > > Thanks in advance. > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- Thomas Fjellstrom thomas@fjellstrom.ca
