Summary: HELP!: DPT2044U/4040 Smartcache4 Raid SCSI problems
Keywords: SCSI,Raid,Help
Recently we installed a 3 drive Raid 5 consisting of 3 Seagate ST15230N
(Hawk) drives (4.1 gigs apiece) being controlled by a DPT SmartCach IV 2044U
with a Raid RC4040 module. This raid was installed in a PPro 200 128 megs of
ram and an additional DPT 2124 SCSI controller. Under Linux 2.0.30, using
the EATA-DMA driver, the kernel would find the raid, and allow access.
Fdisk followed by formatting would ultimately lead to a total lockup of the
machine, but not before excessive SCSI errors. Here is an excerpt of the
log that contains the most clear examples of what happened (I've chopped out
the name daemon and sendmail log entries):

The machine never panic'd, just locked, usually with garbage on the screen.
This problem didn't occur when formatting small partitions, but partitions
over 500 megs in size would report SCSI_ABORT_BUSY errors, and anything over
a gig would invariably crash. We did pull the other DPT controller but with
or without the 2124 had no discernable affect. We tried between 4 and 64
megs of cache on the controller. We changed the PCI burst rates from the
slowest to the fastest, and the transfer rates from 5mhz to 20mhz, none of
these had any affect, although, the less the cache, the quicker the problem
would begin, and the sooner the crash would occur. Has anyone else
experienced problems of this sort, and does anyone have any suggestions we
might try to fix the problem? (beyond the obvious of buying a totaly
different raid system)
