For any case of spooky behaviour involving SCSI, make completely sure
that the SCSI cabling is above suspicion. If it isn't, your sanity will
be the first casualty.
FWIW, this is SATA. I hit up -scsi since I (think) that's where whoever
deals with mpt(4) lives. The controller does present the array as a scsi
device, but thankfully (oh so very thankfully), there's no scsi cabling
involved. Say what you will about SATA and SAS, but I'm really happy to
not have to deal with terminators, jumpers and all that other drek
anymore.
Thanks,
Charles
