[OmniOS-discuss] MPT SAS Update

[Michael Talbott]

I've been experiencing an error for some time that's been driving me bonkers. One of my servers (currently running r151020) has a JBOD enclosure with 84 x 8TB Seagate Archive drives. I now know we should've avoided those horribly slow drives but, the price was right and now I'm stuck with them. The problem is after about 30 minutes of very heavy reads on those disks (no writes at all), the system panics with the following backtrace:

After some googling I found this which I thiiiink seems to have addressed the underlying issue:
https://www.illumos.org/issues/5698 <https://www.illumos.org/issues/5698>
via this commit:
https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/2482ae1b96a558eec551575934d5f06c87b807af <https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/2482ae1b96a558eec551575934d5f06c87b807af>

I'm not very familiar with the Illumos build system, so I was hoping someone could give me a pointer as to how I could just build this updated mpt_sas driver (can I just build it alone or do I have to build the entire system?). Of course if that pull could be released as an OmniOS update, that'd be even better ;)

Thanks,

Michael
