It was my impression, from the information we've collected that our
problem is very specific to Opteron. It's possible that your problem
is actually unrelated. :(

We're using Opterons, Linux 2.6.x, and a SiL (Silicon Image) SATA

After MUCH MUCH MUCH trial and error we've discovered that:
1) 2.6.16 substantially alleviates the problem but doesn't
eliminate it.
2) There is a 3Ware card that's MUCH better in this regard.
Personally, I'm not a fan of 3Ware, having lost a RAID array due
in no
small part to a BUG in their firmware (whose existence they knew
about
but, naturally, refused to acknowledge until we presented them with
proof that it had to be a bug...) but you can control for such
variables...
thanks
we use a 3ware 9000 SATA-RAID5 controller.
strange.
we have a xeon cpu here.
so it's not a amd specific problem either i guess.
maybe some strange SMP problem.
BUT we use kernel 2.6.11 so that could be the problem.
aaaaahh noooo i hate kernel updates :)
i will try a kernel update... sometime ;)
