I have been beating my head on this for a few days, any help would be
appreciated.
HARDWARE:
Dual XEON 2.4Ghz - Hyperthreading = Off
3GB RAM - ECC Registered
3 X 15,000 RPM SEAGATE HARD DRIVES - Half Height
Adaptec 2120S Controller - Flashed to latest version
RAID 5 Configured - The system has completed the verify / build array
process (100%) weeks ago.
All of the hardware is brand new (less than a month old), and we have sprung
for more expensive shielded SCSI cables.
Here is the boot output on the controller initialization. Please note - this
2120s does NOT have an optional battery (which the system says it does) and
has a 64MB cache where the system reports only 48MB.

System Setup: 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE compiled for SMP.
PERFORMANCE:
This system is consistently under relatively heavy IO and network
utilization.
This is typical network IO for this server:

ATTMEPTED REMIDYS:
We have swapped out the cable twice with different brands with different
shielding. No effect. We do not use a converter to change pins. Strait U320
to U320 rated hardware and cables.
Rebuilt 4.8 kernel from scratch - twice. No effect.
Moved SCSI card to #1 PCI-X slot on motherboard.
Researched 2120s history with FreeBSD as well as U320.
Rebuilt and reverified RAID 5 array. Per a past support post, we tried
turning on and off write cache. For the errors below, write cache is turned
ON.
Waited to install OS until the build / verify process completed for the RAID
5 array off controller.
ERRORS:
We are seeing the following messages in /var/log - dmesg on a daily basis. I
understood this hardware had some buggy embedded code, but was supposed to
be fixed with the flash (six months ago). Also saw posts regarding this card
and its inability to operate under 4.7 and 4.8-RELEASE and was the reason we
put the box up on 4.8-STABLE.
Here are the errors:
This continues for the length of the log file. It is consistant regardless
of the cable. HEAVY REPITITION.
