similar to: 3w_9xxx + Xen-patched 2.6.30 dom0 == bad LUN detection

I've just noticed that 3Ware has a more current version of the firmware for the 9500S than I have on several machines. All of mine are running: 3w-9xxx: scsi0: Firmware FE9X 3.04.00.005, BIOS BE9X 3.04.00.002, Ports: 8. and the latest rev appears to be 3.08. I'm wondering if there is any compelling reason to upgrade or just let these sleeping dogs lie. :) Any sage (or other)

I am getting this error:- 3w-9xxx: scsi0: ERROR: (0x03:0x0104): SGL entry has illegal length:address=0x3744A000, length=0xFF, cmd=X.

Hi, I used xen-3.0.2-2 (2.6.16) before and the performance of my 3ware 9550SXU-4LP wasn''t too bad, but now with 3.0.3.0 (2.6.16.29) throughput decreased by about 10MB/sec in write performance. sync; ./bonnie++ -n 0 -r 512 -s 20480 -f -b -d /mnt/blabla -u someuser now (2.6.16.29): Version 1.03 ------Sequential Output------ --Sequential Input- --Random- -Per

Here are the version numbers I get after installing the 9.2.1.1 release: Model 9500S-4LP Firmware FE9X 2.08.00.003 Driver 2.26.03.019fw BIOS BE9X 2.03.01.052 Boot Loader BL9X 2.02.00.001 A bit confusing. I thought I saw a map of code set releases to various version numbers but I couldn't find it on 3Ware's site. On Sun, 28 Aug 2005 at 9:20am, Bryan J. Smith wrote >

Hello, Does anyone have experience using a 3ware 9650SE series raid controller on CentOS 6.0? I am getting very sporadic throughput with moderately sized files (0.5-2GB) on ext3. I have tried most of the mount time tuning options: * noatime * trying different journal types * setting commit=120 - helped a little Even after these optimizations it doesn't seem like the raid array is working

Dear list, I thought I'd just share my experiences with this 3Ware card, and see if anyone might have any suggestions. System: Supermicro H8DA8 with 2 x Opteron 250 2.4GHz and 4GB RAM installed. 9550SX-8LP hosting 4x Seagate ST3250820SV 250GB in a RAID 1 plus 2 hot spare config. The array is properly initialized, write cache is on, as is queueing (and supported by the drives). StoreSave

Hi, I have a system based on a Supermicro X8DTH-i motherboard and a Xeon E5506 CPU. It was previously running Debian lenny with xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 (3.2.1-2) / linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 (2.6.26-29) without incident. I upgraded it to Debian squeeze, with xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 (4.0.1-4) / linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 (2.6.32-45) and now it does not complete a boot of the dom0

Good morning! I know I'm on the bleeding edge, but I'm having trouble getting the 2.6.30-rc5 kernel to boot on my CentOS 5.3 box. It's a dual-socket Nehalem box with the Tylersburg chipset (Supermicro board). I installed CentOS 5.3 on it with no problems - boots and runs fine. But I wanted to take a look at the 2.6.30-rc5 kernel and try out some new stuff. After a few go around's

Hi I just upgraded my domU kernel from 2.6.29-gentoo-r5 to 2.6.30-gentoo-r4 and was not able to boot successful. Only after disabling the xen frame buffer I was able to boot my domU kernel. Did I mis configure something or has the xen framebuffer fallen into the hands of the bitrot monster? No obvious hinds or messages on the (text) console or on xm dmesg. The output stops just before the

Stable folks, When a user creates a local (non-clustered) ocfs2 filesystem, accessing the /sys/kernel/debug/<uuid>/fs_state file will crash the system. This patch fixes the crash by correctly handling local filesystems. The problem was introduced with 2.6.30 and does not affect 2.6.29. It is mainline commit c3d38840abaa45c1c5a5fabbb8ffc9a0d1a764d1.

Hi all, I am testing new kernel on a mips machine (64 bits for kernel, 32 bits userland) and I found a problem when mounting the root file system. It is an ext3 file system that is correctly mounted as read only. While booting the system remount the file system as read/write and keep starting all daemons. Moving from 2.6.26 to 2.6.30 kernel, I get this error while remounting the file system

Hello all, Came across my first real "problem" in all the years I've been using Linux today and I'm stumped for an answer. I've recently built a back-up server on top of Centos 5.3 using a 3Ware 9650SE 4 port SATA card and 4 x 1.5TB drives in a RAID 5 array. I went for the 3Ware card as it has driver support already so any kernel updates won't require me to rebuild the

Hi All, I am looking for advice on how to cure a constantly-crashing NFS server which crashes every few hours, or at least, every few days. The kernel log file (below) points toward NFS as a likely cause. The system disk is a 3ware 8000 series RAID1 mirror. The data disk is using a 3Ware 9000 controller to produce two RAID1 devices; these are then striped (RAID0) in software to form a RAID 10
