mvsas panics and dies when attached to a port extender on newer kernels

2015-04-13 Thread Adam Talbot
To make a very long debugging story short, I think there is an issues/bug with the mvsas driver. It works, with older kernels, and breaks on newer kernels. My Debian Jessie system was running great on a 3.18 kernel. Changed cases to a newer supermicro case with a SAS expander backplane (SAS933EL)

Oh! Good idea. ;-) I will test it in 6~8 hours, once the raid check finishes. On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 10:28 AM, James Bottomley wrote: > On Thu, 2015-04-16 at 10:26 -0700, Adam Talbot wrote: >> Wow, I forgot how long it takes to compile a full kernel. Glad I ran >> Gentoo for
