Latest working kernel version: Earliest failing kernel version: Distribution: Debian Lenny Hardware Environment: ASUS P5BV/SAS, Kingston 4GB (2x2) DDRAM 677Mhz, 5 Seagate SATA x1Tb each Software Environment: mdadm Problem Description:I have 4 disks connected to SATA, one to SAS. All of them are merged to raid5 array using mdadm. The server reboots automatically from time to time, the last reboot was during the scheduled array check. Nothing strange, except this message: mptbase: ioc0: LogInfo(0x31123000). What does it mean? pr 6 01:06:02 localhost kernel: md: data-check of RAID array md0 Apr 6 01:06:02 localhost kernel: md: minimum _guaranteed_ speed: 1000 KB/sec/disk.

The Distribution is not Lenny, it is Debian etch x86_64
When I connect all 5 drives to SAS, I get A LOT of the above mentioned messages during the startup and after it. Running checkarray causes a reboot. (percents completed may vary up to ten). With one drive connected to SAS I was able to complete the array check and even work for 1-2 days.
I recompiled the kernel (2.6.24) with the driver given on LSI download page (mptlinux-4.00.21.00-src.tar.gz). Now it is 4.00.21 insted of default 3.06.05. All 5 hard drives are connected to SAS. host1: ioc0: fw=01.23.00.00 bios=06.12.00.00 driver=4.00.21.00 mpi=105 LSISAS1068 B1: board_name=N/A assembly=ASUSTek tracer=N/A nvdata_persistent=2b00h nvdata_default=2b00h io_delay=00 device_delay=00 debug_level=00000000h But symptoms remained the same, I still get a lot of error messages: Apr 9 13:42:31 localhost kernel: ReiserFS: dm-1: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal Apr 9 13:42:31 localhost kernel: ReiserFS: dm-1: using ordered data mode Apr 9 13:42:31 localhost kernel: ReiserFS: dm-1: journal params: device dm-1, size 8192, journal first block 18, max trans len 1024, max batch 900, max co mmit age 30, max trans age 30 Apr 9 13:42:31 localhost kernel: ReiserFS: dm-1: checking transaction log (dm-1) Apr 9 13:42:31 localhost kernel: ReiserFS: dm-1: Using r5 hash to sort names Apr 9 13:43:23 localhost kernel: md: data-check of RAID array md0 Apr 9 13:43:23 localhost kernel: md: minimum _guaranteed_ speed: 1000 KB/sec/disk.

first off, i would not recommend combining different drives or same disks via different paths into a raid volume. see http://www.howtofixcomputers.com/forums/scsi/sas-sata-arrays-one-controller-lsisas1068-17428-3.html anyhow, that doesn`t explain why you also have issues with 5 drives via sas. i would recommend asking here: LSILOGIC MPT FUSION DRIVERS (FC/SAS/SPI) P: Eric Moore M: Eric.Moore@lsi.com M: support@lsi.com L: DL-MPTFusionLinux@lsi.com L: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org W: http://www.lsilogic.com/support S: Supported
