Updated the bios on my 2950 too (2.1.1 now) but still can force the error by creating a high IO load... this silly command was enough... got to approx. file number 33 before it started throwing those errors. I=0 while [ I -lt 300 ]; do nice -n 20 dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/test/$I bs=1m count=100 I=(($I+1)) done Perc5/i SAS-raid controller firmware is 5.1.1-0040 which seems to be the newest for this machine according to the Dell support page.
