When I tested 2.4.6-pre6 I decided to use the qlogicfc driver -- BAD MISTAKE!!! #1 - My system had crashed (for a different reason) and when the raid5 was resyncing and e2fsck happening at the same time the kernel locked with messages from qlogicfc.o: qlogicfc0: no handle slots, this should not happen. hostdata->queue is 2a, inptr: 74 I was able to repeat this several times so it's a consistent error. Waiting for the raid resync to finish did allow this complete -- but now when I come in the next morning the console is locked up and no network access either. So I reset it. Checked the logs and here it is again: Jun 29 03:39:21 yeti kernel: qlogicfc0 : no handle slots, this should not happen. Jun 29 03:39:21 yeti kernel: hostdata->queued is 36, in_ptr: 13 This was during a tape backup. So I'm switching back to qla2x00src-4.15Beta.tgz -- which does the resync and e2fsck just fine together BTW. Jun 29 06:22:47 yeti kernel: qla2x00: detect() found an HBA Jun 29 06:22:47 yeti kernel: qla2x00: VID=1077 DID=2100 SSVID=0 SSDID=0 Only problem is I don't see this package on qlogic's website anymore and their "beta" directory is empty now. I'm waiting to see what their tech support says. ________________________________________ Michael D.
