That is good to hear. There have been some workarounds in the LSI driver to handle problems similar to this. It might be that you're still having a problem but the new fw/driver combination is able to mask it much better. I would keep an eye on your system for anything suspicious for a while so you don't have any down time.
I was curious if you knew what driver you were using before you upgraded to the LSI driver. I could try to compare the two and see what the differences were (probably a lot but maybe a specific change will stand out). If you don't know the driver version, then your kernel version will help narrow it down. Also, that driver should come with a DKMS package. It only has builds for Redhat Enterprise and Suse Linux Enterprise but you should be able to use DKMS to build it for your kernel and then future updates of your kernel should rebuild it automatically. Here's a link to DKMS if you're not familiar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DKMS. You should only have to do the bottom half since LSI builds the dkms package for everyone. Lastly, if you're satisfied with LSI driver, you might close the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599830 Title: system hangs after strange errors - raid6 and xfs defective (lsi driver?) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
