We’re having some problems with our 3ware 9650se raid card. The messages in the log are:

3w-9xxx: scsi9: WARNING: (0x06:0x002C): Unit #0: Command (0x2a) timed out, resetting card.

And we get LOTS of these messages. The 3ware site said to try upgrading the driver. So I downloaded the file and untarred it. To create the driver, I ran:

make -f Makefile.rh

This created a 3w-9xxx.o file which I copied to /lib/modules/2.4.21-47.0.1.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/scsi.

I also upped the number of nfsd running from 64 to 128, though I’m pretty sure that this wasn’t the problem.

We’ll see if the new driver helps.
