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?
Dubious. Just a flakey driver, though it's looking better today.
Cheers
