Hi,

How often is this crash? (daily, weekly, monthy...)

What's the freebsd version you're using?

Can you try your card in an other PCI slot and do you have other PCI devices?

Does this reset and/or crash could be related to high i/o or something else?

We have a similar, but a 4port (9500S-4) controller with 5.5 and in a PCI-X and 
works fine.

64bit support in freebsd differs from the PCI 64bit. In a PCI-X slot, the 64bit is the databus "width", instead of the normal 32bit. You can's enforce it, but it works automatically in PCI-X slots.

(A dmesg and a crash dump, if you can provide it, would be nice for the 
developer guys imho.)

Regards,
Andrej

Hi,

I have a smallish problem, got a backup server with ASUS PC-DL motherboard that 
doesn't have a 64 bit pci slot
and a 3ware 9500S-8 card. The machine resets the controller every now and then, 
but when there's enough disk
io when it tries to do that the machine crashes.

And on the risk of sounding stupid, doesn't this "64bit+" mean that freebsd is using it 
"with 64 bit" support?
And if it indeed does, is there any way to force it off?

If there isn't a simple solution, were just getting a motherboard with 64bit 
pci slot.

Thanks
