Per my earlier message, both cards were resetting, scsi0 and scsi1 under
kernel 2.6.35(.x), with 2.6.34, the lag problem is gone and my machine is
back to normal again. It is unlikely that both cards would be at fault,
in addition I spent several hours trying different things, removing the BBU
modules for example, but always staying on the 2.6.35 kernel.

I am now able to run rss2email (which ALWAYS caused the machine to lockup
and freeze until one of the controllers reset) without any problems using
2.6.34.

2.6.34.1 = good
2.6.35.x = has 3ware bug

There appears to be a bug in the commit for the 3w-9xxx updates.

On 2.6.34 now and no problems so far, I am continuing to test.

Adam Radford (2):
3ware maintainers update
3w-xxxx, 3w-9xxx: force 60 second timeout


Justin.


Latest-- 2.6.34.x seems to fix the issue, no lag whatsoever, the system is
very responsive when running rss2email, again no lag, have run 10-15 tests
without a single incident. I also re-enabled msi and put my optimization
script back in init.d, everything continues to work perfectly.

Will wait for Adam on what went wrong with the 2.6.35 3w-9xxx update.
