Guys, I've got a machine generating all kinds of wierd errors. It failed 4 out of 8 drives on a 3ware card. A reboot cleared all but 1 up, I've had alot of lag while the card is spitting errors etc. I'm about to launch this thing into the nearest highway I can find. This morning I got this: 3w-xxxx: scsi1: PCI Parity Error: clearing. EXT3-fs error (device md(9,2)): ext3_add_entry: bad entry in directory #65: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=552, inode=93, rec_len=21, name_len=11 3w-xxxx: scsi2: PCI Parity Error: clearing. Can I get an educated "oh, your card is bad" or "hmm, bad driver maybe?" or something I can poke with a stick? It's a brand new box with brand new drives and controllers. It was running great until last week. Kernel 2.4.19 with 3ware driver 7.5.2 from their web page. Robert :wq! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert L.
