I am running a 3ware 9650SE-16ML on FreeBSD
6.1-RELEASE.
I think that the card is in a 4x PCI-E slot, and I
think that is causing my system to crash periodically
under very high IO load.
I am planning on moving the card from the 4X slot to
an 8x slot, which is the speed recommended for it.
Before I do this, I would like a sanity check - is
there ANY reason that moving slots with this card
would be dangerous ? Will FreeBSD care that the card
comes in on a new slot ? Will the card ? The arrays
?
Is there anything at all I should know about this
proposed slot move that would put my filesystems in
danger in any way ? War stories and speculation
appreciated...
Thanks.
