I'm trying to bring up the beta on a machine whose only disk is behind a
3w-6800 card, all in one big (538GB) RAID 5 set. The card has been updated
to the latest BIOS. When formatting the filesystems, I get large numbers
of card resets and the following errors on the screen:
3w-xxxx: tw_scsi_eh_abort(): Abort failed for unknown Scsi_Cmnd 0xdefaXX00,
where XX varies.
/proc/scsi/3w-xxxx/0 shows 40 aborts. The formats eventually succeed after
about 30 minutes, but this is somewhat bothersome. My best guess is that
the kernel driver in 7.1beta doesn't know how to handle the RAID 5
capabilities, which are a feature of the new 3ware BIOS.
Past that, does anyone have any tips for getting more than 15 partitions on
a single "SCSI disk" (as a 3ware RAID set shows up as)? I really need
more partitions than the limited number of minors will give me.
