All disks are internal disks in the hotswap cage thing, connected to the core I/O board (? not sure if that's what its called , it's a big board with 3 SCSI cables on it and the ethernet jack/external SCSI). All the disks are plugged into this, two disks per cable, and the DVD on its own cable. > Can you post lspci -v output from you L2000? > I just want to verify the built-in SCSI chips are the > same as on my A500: sym53c896.

The problem happens with or without the Qlogic boards in there. > Can you try running two different dbench instances at the some time on > two different disks? On three disks (sdb/sdc/sdd): hypo:/sdb# dbench 10 10 clients started .......... hypo:/sdc# dbench 10 10 clients started .............. hypo:/sdd# dbench 10 10 clients started ........................................................................ ................................................ None of them finish, and I get a ton of both bus and device RESETS/ABORTS on the GSP terminal. On two disks (sdc/sdc): hypo:/sdb# dbench 10 10 clients started ...................................... hypo:/sdc# dbench 10 10 clients started ............... Pretty much the same thing, lots of RESETS/ABORTS. I can post these if needed, but its pretty much just more of what was in my first message. It all goes pear shaped after this with lots of I/O errors and EXT2 errors, e.g. EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,17)): ext2_write_inode: unable to read inode block - inode=1357217, block=2719749 I/O error: dev 08:11, sector 9961512 I/O error: dev 08:11, sector 0 I will try again with dbench on just one disk at a time as well. Thanks, James.
