I guess the previous message got garbled somehow.
Dell 1950 with a PERC5 raid1 SATA 160gb mirror. 4.2-RELEASE A 300mb dd write makes an unkillable process. Outputs a few "sd0: not queued, error 5" lines. Recently flashed the card to the latest firmware. Behaves somewhat better. Happens with a single drive too. Needs rebooting to be able to write to the drive after it has started to behave. Takes forever to unpack ports.tar.gz, i aborted the unpacking after 20 minutes and about 100mb unpacked. Is atleast stable, doesn't die, just writes to the disk really slow. Like previous poster, unkillable processes and weird behaviour. Needs rebooting to be able to write to the drive after it has started to behave. ----- Dell 1750 scsi Our two 1750 scsi boxes works good though. Doesn't seem to crash from dd. -----
