The problems you had with the x8dtn, did the affect the x8dtn+-o that you know
of, or just the -6?
I'm thinking of building a system around this due to the PCI-X so I can use the
AOC-SAT2-MV8.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Well, I can't say for sure it's the right firmware for
your device. I
I did see that and confirmed the support has made it into the 130 release I'm
testing with.
However, the WD10EARS does not expose 4k sectors to the outside world, so it is
not identified as supporting it.
Correct alignment, to ensure best performance of the internal translation,
seems to be
The WD10EARS disks don't work well.
I had too many issues with timeouts that disappeared when replacing them with
ST32000542AS drives.
My next challenge is to get the LSI 3081 to boot off the disk I want it to, and
then to get multipath functional.
Has anyone else had issues with the LSI IT
Update:
For the WD10EARS, the blocks appear to be aligned on the 4k boundary when zfs
uses the whole disk (whole disk as EFI partition).

See also PSARC 2008/769 which considers 4 KB blocks for the entire OS

Hey Mark,
I spent *so* many hours looking for that firmware. Would you please
post the link? Did the firmware dl you found come with fcode? Running blade

Thx

I do not know if this has anything to do with some of the problems you're
seeing. however, there is definitely an issue using /some/ LSI controllers on
Supermicro boards. I just rencetly had an issue with using LSI3442 (the next
gen over the 1068E chipset) on a Supermicro MB (X8DTN-6).
I'm looking into the alignment implications for the WD10EARS disks.
It may explain my issues.
I seem to recall boot issues in some of the LSI release notes affecting other
boot devices. I think it takes over boot responsibility.
I've encountered this sort of issue over the years with many scsi
Thanks for your answer.
I asked primarily because of the mpt timeout issues I
saw on the list.
Hi Arnaud,
I am looking into the LSI SAS 3081 as well. My current understanding with mpt
issues is that the sticky part of these problems is rather related to
multipath features, that is using

Hi James
I do not think that you are reading the data
correctly.
The issues that we have seen via this list and
storage-discuss
have implicated downrev firmware on cards, and the
various different
disk drives that people choose to attach to those
cards.
Thanks for pointing that out. I
My experience was different again.
I have the same timeout issues with both the LSI and Supermicro cards in IT
mode.
IR mode on the Supermicro card didn't solve the problem, but seems to have
reduced it .

to the latest
As in they work without any possibility of mpt timeout issues? I'm at my wits

away, I'd love to pull the trigger
