So I checked the array which shows all clean, even across reboots: [root@mbpc-pc ~]# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md0 : active raid6 sdb[7] sdf[6] sdd[3] sda[5] sdc[1] sde[8] 3907045632 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [6/6] [UUUUUU] bitmap: 1/8 pages [4KB], 65536KB chunk unused devices: [root@mbpc-pc ~]# Then I run smartctl across all disks and sure enough /dev/sdf prints this: [root@mbpc-pc ~]# smartctl -A /dev/sdf smartctl 5.43 2012-06-30 r3573 [x86_64-linux-4.8.4] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-12 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net Error SMART Values Read failed: scsi error badly formed scsi parameters Smartctl: SMART Read Values failed. === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === [root@mbpc-pc ~]# So it would appear we found the root cause, a bad disk. True the disk is bad and I'll be replacing it however, even with a degraded disk (checking now) the array functions just fine and I have no data loss. I only lost 1.

The array resynced without issue however the smartctl -A command still failed on it. Today I check and bad blocks were recorded on the disk and the array has since removed /dev/sdf (per above). Also I have to say that these ESXi hosts worked in this configuration, without any hickup, for about 4 months. No LUN failure on the ESXi side. I haven't changed the LUN in that time (had no reason to do so). So now here's the real question that I have. Why would the array continue to function, as intended, with only one disk failure yet the QLogic / Target drivers stop and error out? The RAID6 (software) array should care about the failure, and it should handle it. QLogic / Target Drivers shouldn't really be too impacted (aside from read speed maybe) about a disk failing inside the array. That would be my thinking. The Target / QLogic software seems to have picked up on a failure ahead of the software RAID 6 detecting it. I've had this RAID6 for over 6 years now. Aside from the occassional disk replacement, quite rock solid. So anyway, I added the fix you pointed out to the 4.8.4 kernel and recompiled. I restarted it, with the RAID6 degraded as it is. All mounted fine and I checked the LUN's from the ESXi side: [root@mbpc-pc ~]# /etc/init.d/target start The Linux SCSI Target is already stopped [ OK ] [info] The Linux SCSI Target looks properly installed.

If everything works, I will revert the patch and see if I can reproduce the issue. If I can reproduce it, then the disk might not have been it, but the patch was. I'll keep you posted on that when I get a new disk tomorrow. Right now this is a POC setup so I have lots of room to experiment. -- Cheers, Tom K. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Living on earth is expensive, but it includes a free trip around the sun.
