I have Supermicro 936E1 (X28 expander chip) and LSI 1068 HBA. I never got timeout issue but I'm using Seagate 15K.7 SAS. SATA might be different as it handles error and io timeout differently.
If you can wait, better wait for 6Gb SAS expander based product. BTW. I'd get Supermicro X8DTH-6F motherboard as this gives enough expansion slots. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
