I have two 2940's in my baby news.seicom.net, each with four disks attached to it. This is a 2.2.2 machine running under extremely heavy load (probably something like 30GB i/o per day would seem reasonable). All I can say is that it works like a charm. I usually get uptimes of up to 70 days. The only problems I have noticed are occasional error messages like > ahc1: WARNING no command for scb 6 (cmdcmplt) > QOUTCNT == 14 > ahc1: WARNING no command for scb 6 (cmdcmplt) > QOUTCNT == 13 > ahc1: WARNING no command for scb 6 (cmdcmplt) [...] > QOUTCNT == 2 > ahc1: WARNING no command for scb 6 (cmdcmplt) > QOUTCNT == 1 > ahc1: WARNING no command for scb 6 (cmdcmplt) > QOUTCNT == 1 As these seem to be harmless, I didn't try to find out what caused them.
