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

I''ve been attempting to update my dom0 kernel by using the 2.6.27 git tree from the xenclient repo and also to 2.6.30 using opensuse patches rebased by Andrew Lyon. In both cases there''s a problem with the 3ware 3w_9xxx driver incorrectly detecting the LUNs on the device or some other issue, which ultimately prevents partition table detection. In my testing I applied the

Hi, I've CentOS5 box with 3ware RAID controller in it. I can't get the tw_cli command line tool to work, and smartd also barks on me. The tw_cli simply doesn't see the controller, no errors logged anywhere. When starting smartd, it is much more verbose. I'm getting a bunch of messages like this: Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko kernel: program smartd is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl,

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)

When tar'ing up an ext3 filesystem on a 3ware RAID I have, I got the following errors in my system log: Apr 7 21:27:46 allo 3w-xxxx[957]: Drive error encountered on port 3 on controller ID:0.

I notice that IO performance is notably slower than the stock RHEL kernel; about 1/2 overall write performance. I can trigger the bug

I'm using CentOS5 64bit on a system with a 3ware 9650SE card. I installed the OS using the driver disk files provided by 3ware. It worked fine with the original CentOS5 kernel. After doing a "yum update", which also installed an updated kernel, the system didn't work after a reboot, using the new kernel. I rebooted the old kernel, moved the 3w-9xxx.ko file from

I've got an i386 server running centos 4.2 with 3 3ware controllers in it -- an 8006-2 for the system disks and 2 7500-8s. On the 7500s, I'm running an all software RAID50. This morning I came in to find the system hung. Turns out a disk went overnight on one of the 7500s, and rather than a graceful failover I got this: Jan 6 01:03:58 $SERVER kernel: 3w-xxxx: scsi2: Command

Hi list, this days I''ve tried to update a 32bit XEN 3.0.4 system (kernel 2.6.16) to XEN 3.1.2 on AMD64 (kernel 2.6.18). The system has 2GB RAM and a 3ware 9500-12 SATA raid controller. The old system worked fine for about half a year now. The new system boots fine so far but when doing some "bigger" changes to the filesystem I get a lot of this errors: > PCI-DMA: Out of

Hi! I know this is a little bit offtopic, but i couldn't think of any other place where i can get uninfluenced first hand information on these controllers :) I've read about and experienced data loss/system lockup with older 3ware controllers, but the 3ware Escalade 7xxx (i'm especially interested in the 7850) sounds too good to ignore it (8 channels, 8 drives, raid 0/1/5/10,

My setup is as follows: Motherboard: Tyan S2895 CPU: Two Opteron 275s Memory: 4 GB Disk: Three 250 GB SATA drives attached to a 3Ware 9500S-4LP RAID card Video: Nvidia GeForce 7800 The only hardware that I have added to the motherboard is the 3Ware card and the Nvidia card. The disks are configured as a RAID 5 array, and the machine boots from this array. I installed CentOS 4.2 x86 on this

I tried to install and boot a 2.6.7 Dom0 xenLinux Kernel on an SMP (Dual-Xeon) Machine with 2 3-ware Controllers installed (1 4-channel Controler and 1 8-channel Controler, both Parallel ATA) and no other HDs present (except the ones connected to the 3ware controlers, of course). First of all I got a compilation error after activating the SMP option in the kernel config. After deactivating the

Hello, While shopping for another 3Ware card, I found that this market has gotten much larger since I bought my 6500. So I started looking at the various cards while browsing the hardware notes for FreeBSD 4.8 and 5.1. So I'm wondering if anyone can provide some insight here. -3Ware has a whole new series of cards. The twe(4) manpage states that only 5xxx and 6xxx series cards are

My goal is to be able to install to the drive array on the 3Ware controller card. 3Ware does provide a RH WS 3 driver that I've tried to use; however, the RH Enterprise 3 WS driver doesn't work since that kernel is older than the CentOS-3.1 install kernel. I'm trying to create a centOS-3.1 installation driver disk for the 3ware 9500S card; however, I'm not having much luck.

I?m running centos 4.3 (2.6.9-22.ELsmp) on a box ,and running windows XP on vmware 5.5.1. I have 3 scsi disk on this server,sda for linux system,sdb for vmware disk,and sdc for other. Resently I found that something wrong with the second disk,the guest os windowsxp copying files from a samba server(another box) to it?s disk,and for some time,maybe 5hours,3or1hours, the kernel said that sdb is

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, we've got a server with a 8 port 3ware card and 2 ide system disks. now we'd like to replace the ide disks with scsi disks or sata disks (these also recognized as scsi in the kernel). but we can't boot from it. the problem are twofold. first in the normal case the first scsi host scsi0 id the 3ware card, but grub only see the first 8 disk so if the system disk are sdi and sdj the
