Re: XFS , QLA2200 and SMP
What qlogic driver, kernel version, XFS version, FC array, size volume, and oops output? All that will help tremendously.

Re: XFS , QLA2200 and SMP
Pardon me for not seeing this earlier. have you created a debug qlogic driver? 6.06.10 prefferably. Also, are you using and ql2xopts in your modules.conf? Just curious. Some older versions may be messed up if you haven't re-written them. Also, tried moving the qlogic card to another slot? We have many systems here with dual 2200s and 2300s in failover, we've had our issues, but overall they continue to work and we do hundreds of GB of IO or more per day.

Re: XFS , QLA2200 and SMP
Which FS is it that you're writing to? A NFS, or is it local and being shared as NFS? Something seems very odd in that stack trace given the oops that you have. -- Austin Gonyou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Coremetrics, Inc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: XFS , QLA2200 and SMP
Just FYI, sorry for replying to this so late, the modules.conf(<6.06.00) or qla2[2,3]00.conf(6.06.00+) file when used with the SANSurfer software is where it writes module specific config information. I was just curious if these options might've impacted you here at all. but it doesn't sound like you're even using any. I suppose another question is are you direct connected or swtiched? I had an issue where my LIP logins were re-curring while up and after having too many hosts in the same zone, I had to do explicit port zones to prevent IO quashing. After that, no problems, but odd symptoms because any server could cause it and any server could be affected. just another aspect if you're using switches with no, or very broad, zones.
