Hello.
I was running a 3ware 9500 controller:
//max> /c0 show driver /c0 Driver Version = 3.50.00.016
//max> /c0 show model /c0 Model = 9500S-4LP

I recently upgraded it to 6.x and experienced many hard lockups.
What I see in the logs looks like this:
Jan 9 13:14:50 max kernel: (da0:twa0:0:0:0): Request Requeued Jan 9 13:14:50 max kernel: (da0:twa0:0:0:0): Retrying Command Jan 9 13:14:50 max kernel: (da0:twa0:0:0:0): Request Requeued Jan 9 13:14:50 max kernel: (da0:twa0:0:0:0): Retrying Command Jan 9 13:14:50 max kernel: (da0:twa0:0:0:0): Request Requeued Jan 9 13:14:50 max kernel: (da0:twa0:0:0:0): Retrying Command Jan 9 13:17:25 max kernel: twa0: INFO: (0x04: 0x000c): Initialize started: unit=0
Under FreeBSD 6.0 is seems to lock up shortly after the "Initialize started" message.
Under 5.4 I get more of these messages: Jan 9 13:18:27 max kernel: (da0:twa0:0:0:0): Request Requeued Jan 9 13:18:27 max kernel: (da0:twa0:0:0:0): Retrying Command Jan 9 13:18:42 max kernel: (da0:twa0:0:0:0): Request Requeued Jan 9 13:18:42 max kernel: (da0:twa0:0:0:0): Retrying Command ...
These messages are normal under heavy loads if you have bootverbose on, and should not cause any lockups. You might want to turn bootverbose off if you are seeing a lot of these. You seem to be using a 5.x driver version (3.50.xx.xxx) on 6.0. You might want to move to a 6.x version (3.60.xx.xxx ).
I have moved out of maintaining the 3ware driver. Please contact 3ware Support if you have problems.
And things seem fine... for now... there is currently a rebuild
and it's 12% complete.
Additionally it seems that under FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.0 the 3dm web tool does not function.
3dm should work both on 5.4 & 6.0. Contact 3ware Support if you have problems.
Anyhow, I would love to be of help to get this resolved so that
3ware works on 6.x. I can make time in late evenings EST (after 5 or 6 PM) to run any diagnostics or patches.
Please let me know!
thank you,
