Re: [zfs-discuss] Update - mpt errors on snv 101b
I can report io errors with Chenbro based LSI SASx36 IC based expanders tested with 111b/121/128a/129. The HBA was LSI 1068 based. If I bypass expander by adding more HBA controllers, mpt does not have io errors. -nola On Dec 8, 2009, at 6:48 AM, Bruno Sousa wrote: Hi James, Thank you for your feedback, and i will send the prtconf -v output for your email.

Hi Bruno, that is indeed what I, personally, suspect is the case. Tracking that down and conclusively proving so is, however, another thing entirely. Could you send the output from prtconf -v for your host please, so that we can have a look at the vital information for the enclosure services and SMP nodes that the SAS Expander presents/ thankyou, James C.
