I have 3 boxes using 1068E controllers attached to 16 drive port
expander based chassis that have been built over the last 2.5 years and
they all react badly.
In fact the latest one put together a month ago (which is using more
recent controller IT firmware and kernel than the other two), will not
tolerate a single smartctl command, where the other two will maybe 50%
of the time.
Something is not right here and others running different drive setups -
direct attached and port multipler based are seeing the same thing.
Suffice it to say, I would recommend heavy testing before putting into
production and I personally have no confidence currently.
Regards,
Richard
