I have some problems with my 3ware 8006-2 on freebsd 5.3 branch. Actually the box is a p4-3000 hyperthreaded, the 3ware card is running raid1 with 2 maxtor 80go drives. Acually the traffic on the card is less than 2 MB/s. When the number of transactions/s a value around 70, the controller seems to "lag", the average time par transaction can be more than 10 seconds ! The box also reboot at random intervals giving no messages in the logs. I don't know if the problem comes from the disks or from the 3ware card. If someone could post iostat values I can expect with other raid cards and/or other disks, it would be great :) thanks, Julien iostat -o 1 output : tty twed0 cpu tin tout sps tps msps us ni sy in id 0 392601 86 465 71 0 28 1 0 0 1201891 61 877 63 0 37 0 0 0 401820 58 1268 31 0 19 1 50 0 401843 65 1591 31 0 8 0 60 0 402004 66 1411 55 0 10 0 34 0 401925 65 1155 40 0 16 0 44 0 401911 62 870 33 0 11 0 57 0 401776 65 1077 17 0 13 0 70 6 652021 66 1303 22 0 14 0 64 1 422240 89 1074 30 0 37 1 32 0 401660 59 815 9 0 5 1 84 0 401882 61 1630 6 0 2 0 91 0 401775 60 2501 9 0 12 0 79 0 401718 61 3015 0 0 0 0 99 0 401973 62 3064 0 0 1 0 99 0 402440 76 3451 0 0 1 0 99 0 407480 234 4536 9 0 8 1 82 0 402631 82 5376 2 0 2 0 97 0 402536 79 6408 0 0 0 0 99 0 402599 81 7379 0 0 0 0 100 0 412250 70 8385 0 0 0 0 100 0 1202060 64 9407 1 0 0 0 99 0 402314 7210433 0 0 0 0 100 0 411981 6311387 0 0 0 0 100 0 411244 6410001 60 0 17 0 23 0 401014 48 5712 74 0 25 1 0 0 401779 91 3.6 72 0 28 0 0 0 402582 97 16.9 65 0 34 1 0 0 402371 90 45.1 56 0 41 3 0 0 401826 61 792 40 0 15 1 44
