I installed the new drivers on two machines, both of which were intermittently giving errors about device resets. One card did this so often that I believed the card was faulty and I would have to replace either the card or the motherboard.
Since installing the new drivers I've had no issues whatsoever with drives on either box. I ran zpool scrubs continuously on the flaky box, replaced a disk with another one, and copied data about in an attempt to replicate the bus errors I had previously seen, to no avail. The other box has been similarly stable, as far as I can tell; I see no messages in the logs and the users haven't complained when I asked them. Thank you for the work you've put into improving the state of these drivers; I meant to email you earlier this week and mention the great strides they have made, but other things took precedence. That, to my mind, is the primary evolution these drivers have made: I don't have to worry about my HBAs any more. Thanks!
