We have had ongoing problems with our Adaptec 2940UW servers since the 2.1.7 debacle. Our servers were gloriously stable up through 2.1.5, unreliable since. 2.2, 2.2.1, and 2.2.2 have shown no improvement, same old story that others have mentioned, especially the spontaneous lockups with "SCSI bus resets." Haven't tried with 2.2.5, we're probably converting to another OS since it looks like it's not going to get fixed. Personally, I'm tired of getting up at 2am to power-cycle a server, if I enjoyed that we'd be running NT :)
