I've had a few problems with the driver in 2.6.20 (fc6xen x86_64). The machine tended to lock up after a random period of time (from a few minutes upwards), without any messages. Performing a smartctl on all the disks, or leaving smartd running, seemed to speed up the rate at which the crash occurred. What I found was that by moving the sata_mv device onto it's own bus (or a bus with two sata_mv devices), the crashes went away. Are you doing tests with the controller sharing a bus with other devices? Is there an merit to my observation that it might be an issue with devices sharing a PCI-X bus? Cards: Supermicro 5081 (SAT-MV8), Supermicro 6081 (SAT2-MV8), Highpoint 5081 (RocketRaid 1820A v1.1). Motherboards: Tyan S2882, AMD 8131 chipset; IBM x206, Intel 6300ESB. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
