I've spent all weekend fighting this problem on our storage server after installing a ZFS log device, and your suggestion fixed it!
I also have a LSI 3081E-R adapter (B3 revision) connected to a SAS expander backplane with 7 drives on it. None of the /etc/system options mentioned in this thread worked, but after switching to the LSI 1.29 IR firmware, the controller no longer hangs constantly. I'm using OpenSolaris 9.06 (snv 111b). I still see warnings like this in dmesg occassionally: Dec 6 14:15:04 wid scsi: [ID 365881 kern.info] /p...@0,0/pci1166,1...@9/pci1000,3...@0 (mpt0): Dec 6 14:15:04 wid Log info 0x31123000 received for target 26. Dec 6 14:15:04 wid scsi_status=0x0, ioc_status=0x804b, scsi_state=0xc but I have not observed any problems yet while I scrub the zpool. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
