Hi guys,

After having tried various distros as mentioned and after having tried SLC and 
MLC PCI-E devices as well as SSD disks I think I actually found the issue.

Previously I had a bunch of SATA disks connected to my SAS controller as well 
as a bunch of SAS disks... now that I removed the SATA disks and only have SAS 
disks left I have not been able to reproduce the issue (regardless the fact I 
didn't even use the SAS controller for some tests that crashes). Very weird and 
what a waste of a few hundred hours of reinstalling/testing, swapping cables, 
switches, memory, messing with bios settings and what have we.

I now have two stable pools which each write a reasonable ~430 MB/sec with 
sync=always on without crashing.

Lesson - stay far away from SATA disks on LSI 9207-4i4e

Thanks for all the feedback.

Br,
Rune

Sorry, you said you tried this on many versions.

If you can, stick with r151010 (our latest stable) and get a system dump from 
this box.

It's possible too, as Narayan points out, checking for HW errors is helpful.

Also, I may ask you to reproduce this bug with kernel memory debugging enabled. 
 If something is using freed memory, that'd be nice to know.  And finally, are 
you using 3rd-party binary drivers?  Or the native ones in your distro?

Dan
