I've got 24 WDC WD5001ABYS drives (500GB) > hooked to it, running as a single RAID6 w/ a hot spare. These issues > boil down to the card periodically throwing errors like the following: > > sd 1:0:0:0: WARNING: (0x06:0x002C): Command (0x8a) timed out, resetting > card. > > Usually when this happens, it's followed by: > > 3w-9xxx: scsi1: AEN: INFO (0x04:0x005E): Cache synchronization > completed:unit=0. > > On the less pleasant occasions, it's followed by: > > scsi1: ERROR: (0x06:0x0036): Response queue (large) empty failed during > reset sequence. > 3w-9xxx: scsi1: ERROR: (0x06:0x002B): Controller reset failed during > scsi host reset. > sd 1:0:0:0: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery > > This of course leads to a several hour downtime as the system has to be > powered down (not just rebooted) and then the volume needs to be fscked. > I've been back and forth with both the vendor and (via the vendor) 3ware > with this.
