Hello,
First message here.
After looking for a solution without any luck I have found this list. I
hope someone can help me with this.
I have an ASUS P6T Deluxe with a MARVELL 88SE63xx SAS RAID controller.
There are to identical 400GB SAS SSD drives attached to it. One of them
has a Windows 10 installation, the other one Linux.
Grub is installed on the second disk.
Windows works as expected, but I have problems with the Linux
installation: the desktop environment freezes for some second once in a
while. This occurs with Mint Cinnamon, OpenSuSe KDE, Ubuntu and Manjaro
KDE. All of them are current installations. I'm now working in up to
date Manjaro KDE (kernel 4.9.0).
When the temporary freezes occur the mouse pointer moves, some windows
are updated correctly, other do not and DE stops working.
When this happens always I have a system log like this:

Sometimes shorter sometimes larger.
It looks like a controller/drive/cable problem?
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Doesn't look like a Linux RAID issue, but much more like a driver
problem. Possibly caused by cables or controller issues.
You probably want to reach out to the linux-scsi list.

Sandisk USA derived me to Sandisk EU. From there to Sandisk Spain (where
I am).
I Sandisk Spain they know nothing about that product. They redirected me
to WD.
I can't contact WD because they need a part number but they do not
accept the SMARTMOD disk s one.
Crazy.
There is near 0 info about SMARTMOD in the net.

Try EMC?
IBM has a similar part number with the last 3 letters being "IBM" not "EMC".

If thats the mvsas driver, god help you. 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.

Hi,
So there is no support for the mvsas driver?
The controller is integrated in the motherboard. I could by a PCIe one
but, what's the deal them?
Thank you.

Maybe there is no mvsas developer active there now.

mvsas support under Linux is terrible. I know you probably don't want
to hear this, but get another card. Someone recommended an LSI9211
card. Past experience with those have been spotty. They are cheap, but
I'd recommend a 9207-8i. Costs a little more, but generally works very
well.
Again, if you are using an mvsas based card, you should expect problems
and data corruption. If you use the 9207, it should work nicely.
The windows world has all sorts of workarounds for wonky cards/chipsets
in their drivers. Generally, if the driver is not actively supported in
linux and up to date, you are likely going to have problems. If others
are reporting problems (google "mvsas problems in linux" if you want to
see how long people have been having problems with the cards), stay far
away from it.

I had hoped things improved :( when I was having problems with my mvsas based
card, there was someone making commits to the code from marvell and I got some
kind of response once or twice, but stopped replying and problems were never
fixed.
I however haven't had any real issues with my dirt cheap ($50-100) IBM M1015
cards (I have three). A lot of people have had good results with them.
Technically its a 9220, which is quite similar to a 9211, but has some slight
differences.

I bought one and it's been running rock solid in my home system for
months and months. Got it off ebay for around $120 or so, forget the
exact price.

I concur, LSI makes some solid gear. Get the ones without the RAID
ROM too if you can, or flash it and just use it as a JBOD controller.
Mine is:

You didn't even say what's the SSD drive model. Maybe the drive is
faulty? The cabling?

Hello,
First message here.
After looking for a solution without any luck I have found this list. I
hope someone can help me with this.
I have an ASUS P6T Deluxe with a MARVELL 88SE63xx SAS RAID controller.
There are to identical 400GB SAS SSD drives attached to it. One of them
has a Windows 10 installation, the other one Linux.
Grub is installed on the second disk.
Windows works as expected, but I have problems with the Linux
installation: the desktop environment freezes for some second once in a
while. This occurs with Mint Cinnamon, OpenSuSe KDE, Ubuntu and Manjaro
KDE. All of them are current installations. I'm now working in up to
date Manjaro KDE (kernel 4.9.0).
When the temporary freezes occur the mouse pointer moves, some windows
are updated correctly, other do not and DE stops working.
When this happens always I have a system log like this:

Sometimes shorter sometimes larger.
It looks like a controller/drive/cable problem?
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
