Looks like I got the textbook response from Western Digital:

Interesting. I wonder if this is the issue too with the 01U1B0 2.0TB drives?
I have 24 WD2002FYPS-01U1B0 drives under OpenSolaris with an LSI 1068E
controller that have weird timeout issues and I
ceived for target 13.

With no problems at all, that scrub I don't think takes
nearly that long (I think it was less than 12 hours previously)
and the percentage is barely moving, although it is increasing.
Even still, the exported volumes still appear to be

I would definitely be interested to see if the newer firmware fixes the problem
for you. I have a very similar setup to yours, and finally forcing the
firmware flash to 1.26.00 of my on-board LSI 1068E on a SuperMicro H8DI3+
running snv_131 seemed to address the issue. I'm still waiting to see

Well, I may have misspoke. I just spent a good portion of yesterday upgrading
to the lat
As in they work without any possibility of mpt timeout issues? I'm at my wits
end with a machine right now that has an integrated 1068E and is dying almost
hourly at this point.
If I could spend three hundred dollars or so and have my problems magically go
away, I'd love to pull the trigger on
This is basically just a me too. I'm using different hardware but essentially
the same problems. The relevant hardware I have is:

SuperMicro SC846E2-R900B 4U chassis with two LSI SASx36 expander chips on the
