Let's hope so, anyway.
Our prayers have not been answered :-(
I tried several things:
- Forcing all the 500GB Seagate drives to 3.0Gbps does not help
- Replacing the 500GB drives with 1.5TB drives seems to make the PCI error much less frequent
- Moving the controllers to different slots (on different busses) does not help
- Happens with both 2.6.26 (from lenny) and 2.6.30 (from sid)
- Unplugging one of the controllers appeared to lead to a stable configuration, but yesterday I left the machines reconstructing the arrays and this mornings one of them is not answering to pings ;-(
I want to try reducing the frequency of the PCI-X bus, but the BIOS does not seem to provide a setting for it. Is there another way?
