A perhaps unrealted issue:
I've noticed a large number of messages being produced by the mpt driver
after boot occuring approximately every 90 seconds.
Apr 1 15:51:43 moses kernel: mpt0: mpt_cam_event: 0x14
Apr 1 15:51:43 moses kernel: mpt0: Unhandled Event Notify Frame. Event
0x14 (ACK not required).
Apr 1 15:53:19 moses kernel: mpt0: mpt_cam_event: 0x14
Apr 1 15:53:19 moses kernel: mpt0: Unhandled Event Notify Frame. Event
0x14 (ACK not required).
Any thoughts anyone? Is there any way to find out what the events
correspond to?
MPI spec, instantiated in MPILIB
MPI_EVENT_IR_RESYNC_UPDATE
internal raid resync update?
