[fc scsi]

Hi,

I am getting the error messages mentioned below on my system using the following Adaptec card on FreeBSD 4.7:

===========================================================================

This is happening mostly in case of heavy I/O. I am using the default driver which came with the 4.7 kernel. Just wanted to know if there is already a solution to this problem in form of any driver patch or any workarounds (any tunable parameters like timeouts, etc.) which can be useful in eliminating the above messages. 

Also, can somebody point me to the latest driver for FreeBSD 4.7 for the above card which I can download and try out. I tried searching on Adaptec's site but couldn't find one for FreeBSD for the above card:

(http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/suppbyproduct.html?sess=no&language=English+US&cat=/Technology/SCSI+Host+Adapters&fromPage=driverindex)

Any information in this regard will be a great help.

Regards.
