The fix for this that I was thinking of is already in 7.1. There might still be a driver bug, but I'm leaning more towards the controller simply being busy. Do you have a reproducible test case that I could
try?

We saw this one while backups wrote from an array on the PERC4/DC to a tape drive (on a separate controller). amr1: Too many retries on command 0xffffffff80a6d060. Controller is likely dead

The other four which I noted came during writes to the array attached to the PERC4/DC (external Dell PowerVault). I want to say they showed up while writing a 30G junkfile (/dev/random) to the array which we were using to test the tape access; either that, or while we wrote that file out to the tape drive.

If it matters, we also use ports/sysutils/linux-megacli2 to periodically check the status of our arrays. It's possible that this happened during one of these long writes/reads. I'm not having any luck reproducing at the moment, but if I come across a reproducible test, I will let you know.

Thanks!
