The latest changes to the sata and marvell88sx modules have been put back to Solaris Nevada and should be available in the next build (build 84). Hopefully, those of you who use it will find the changes helpful. This message posted from opensolaris.org

I now have a improved sata and marvell88sx driver modules that deal with various error conditions in a much more solid way. Changes include reducing the number of required device resets, properly reporting media errors (rather than "no additional sense"), clearing aborted packets more rapidly so th

I can confirm that the marvell88sx driver (or kernel 64a) regularly hangs the SATA card (SuperMicro 8-port) with the message about a port being reset. The hang is temporary but troublesome. It can be relieved by turning off NCQ in /etc/system with "set sata:sata_func_enable = 0x5" This messa

Al, That makes so much sense that I can't believe I missed it. One bay was the one giving me the problems. Switching drives didn't affect that. Switching cabling didn't affect that. Changing Sata controllers didn't affect that. However, reorienting the case on it's side did! I'll be putting in

We see similar problems on a SuperMicro with 5 500 GB Seagate sata drives. This is using the AHCI driver. We do not, however, see problems with the same hardware/drivers if we use 250GB drives. We sometimes see bad blocks reported (are these automatically remapped somehow so they are not used

I've got a 5-500Gb Sata Raid-Z stack running under build 64a. I have two problems that may or may not be interrelated. 1) zpool scrub stops. If I do a "zpool status" it merrily continues for awhile. I can't see any pattern in this action with repeated scrubs. 2) Bad blocks on one disk. This is
