I don't think anyone has really tested rebuilding a volume while the system is running. I'd be interested in the results of changing the definition of IDA_QCB_MAX from 256 to 128. See sys/dev/ida/idavar.h: #define IDA_QCB_MAX 256 -- 10 40 80 C0 00 FF FF FF FF C0 00 00 00 00 10 AA AA 03 00 00 00 08 00 ============================================ Hi Matthew, One of my DL360's with smart array controller is hanging (and resetting) about once a month with a similar error as reported by Tonix. Do you recommend changing IDA_QCB_MAX to 128? Apparently the OP had good results with this change. Why is the value still 256 in the current version of sys/dev/ida/idavar.h? What is the status of the ida patches (found in your ftp site)? Nick ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?
