Hi, in reference to this http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2004-June/007828.html I have a FreeBSD 4.10-p2 system, using a 7450 with 4xMAXTOR 6L080J4 (80 gig) disks. Raid 5 setup. Monitor version: ME7X 1.01.00.035 Firmware version: FE7X 1.05.00.036 BIOS version: BE7X 1.08.00.044 (Firmware 7.5.3 basically). I am also having the same problems you are having. Randomly under heavy I/O the system will just halt I/O requests. No error messages on the console, it would just start to hang and halt completely. (no kernel panics at all). I believe I have the same problem you do. Were you able to resolve the issue or narrow it down? The machine is not local, but I am curious if you did resolve it, what version of FreeBSD did you have? What firmware? And did you have to do the powermax testing on all the disks or not? I cannot easily do the powermax testing yet, and my firmware is older and I am still running into this problem (which should have all the twe driver fixes). I tried using "Smartmontools" to verify if the Maxtor disks are okay since they only work for Linux + 3Ware. Thanks in advance! - Carroll Kong
