Issue with MPT Passthrough and udev

[Deleted member 44648]

Hey,

I am using an LSI HBA in passthrough mode for ZFS. I have been having issues with udev, which eventually fails, causing a very long boot and causes the ZFS automount service to fail.

Looking into it, it seems like it's the MPT driver that's causing the problem. The output from /var/log/messages that seems to be relevant is attached. The HBA is in passthrough mode, the disks appear, and ZFS mounts fine manually, but the log is littered with "Issuing Reset from mpt_config" warnings.

pveversion -v:

Hi,

did you update the firmware to the current one?

if you look in the messages file:

Oct 12 08:14:21 philoponos kernel: [ 2.780217] mpt2sas_cm0: LSISAS2008: FWVersion(20.00.07.00), ChipRevision(0x03), BiosVersion(00.00.00.00)

and according to broadcom's website:

Firmware : \firmware\HBA_9211_8i_IT\2118it.bin Version no: 20.00.07.00 Release date: 11-FEB-16

20.00.07.00 is the latest release available.

there was a report with similar issues on kernel 3.12.8:

[ I can't post a link yet ... but google "
mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!!, doorbell=0x24000000" ]

totally different kernel than here, but wondering if there's any relation?
