LSI/Supermicro problems

[Virtovo]

We've noticed a recent issue which appears to be a regression of the following bug:

 

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5383

 

It's been killing a node for us over the last 72 hours.  We've now reverted to an earlier kernel version; however it appears to affect:

 

2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64

2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64

 

We're using LSI 2208 which is pretty much the onboard version of the 9271.  Is anyone else running one of these onboard cards and experiencing the same?

We had the same issue. What kernel version are you using now?

Not having this issue, but not using onboard cards. The fix in the notes is a newer kernel. Using real 9271.

Have you tried updating the firmware on the cards or bios?

Currently reverted to 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64; however the issue is still presenting itself.

We're now considering moving to one of the 3.x kernels instead (possibly from the xen4centOS project)
