On at least four occasions the server has become completely unresponsive to anything other than pings ? no ssh or console access. I?ve needed to switch off the server to get it back.

Check this thread:

..and this bug:

The workarounds noted in the bug notes did not work for myself and various other people who posted. I haven't heard of any true fixes for this issue with the older LSI controllers yet.. only fix I've found is to replace it with a new controller. ;( We've swapped our SAS3xxx's for SAS9xxx's.. in my case the SAS9211-8i's; I believe you would need the SAS9200-8e.

If anyone is aware of fixes for the 3800's, I'd love to hear about it - we've still got a pile of them on a shelf. ;)

Good luck, and wish I had something better - like a way to get this working with your current hardware!
