Matthew, I'm experiencing serious troubles on modern server hardware with LSI chipsets, 1030 for example. FreeBSD-stable works stable just with scsi queue set in 1 (camcontrol tags .. -N 1, configuration - SMP, PAE) Otherwise, it gets kernel panic sooner or later, depends on disk activity. Could you please tell of mpt driver status ? I see, -current gets active developement of the driver since last year. Is it stable enough? Do you plan to backport new mpt versions to -stable? When if so ? Thank you, Mikhail.
