OCZ Revodrive failing - siisch0: Timeout on slot 30

Hello,

recently we bought a OCZSSDPX-1RVD0080 card to put it in as a ZFS L2ARC cache. The server started fine, and continued to work for hours, but then there was a kernel panic, stating these siisch0 timeout messages. When it hangs, only a reset helps. I'm helpless with this case, so decided to write here.

My dmesg from start:

I searched the forums for this error message, and i found that others had this problem with eSATA cards, and they solved it with this setting:

Code: 
hint.siisch.0.sata_rev=1

Since speed is important here (thatswhy we bought this card as a filesystem cache), i don't want to limit the cards speed.

Recently, i managed to catch the errors before the server halted:

Any suggestions?

Now this is getting serious.

I replaced the card with another one, as this error were a hardware fault. The server started, went for 2.5hrs, then a kernel panic occurred. Cannot post details, because i only have a remote console for it, and i've only seen some reports of halted processes there.

If anyone has a clue, please help me out.
 
FWIW I get the same siis_timeout messages on an eSATA card hooked up to an external 4 disk SATA cabinet. No panics though, and everything seems to work fine. I'm also running a relatively recent 8.2-STABLE.

Some posts I found suggested to add this to /boot/loader.conf:
Code: 
hint.siisch.0.sata_rev=1

However, it didn't do much for me.
 
karolyi, you may try to disable MSI interrupts by adding to /boot/loader.conf line:
Code: 
hint.siis.0.msi=0
 
This setting did not fix it. After ~3hrs of uptime, there was a kernel panic again.

Any more suggestions? I'd be more than happy to get this extremely fast card working right.
 
Additional information:

It seems like adding the

Code: 
hint.siisch.0.sata_rev=1

line to /boot/loader.conf fixes the crashes, no crash in 19 hours so far. However, this setting limits the card's speed to 150MB/s, which is awful knowing that the card can do 540MB/s. This would need
Code: 
hint.siisch.0.sata_rev=3
AFAIK.

I'll try later on a BIOS refresh, to see if it helps.

Click to expand...

Curious if you ever found a solution? I'm BRAND new to FreeBSD and am using FreeNAS for an ESXi server I'm working on. I'm getting this same error on a 4 drive 'Venus T5' box that I want to use. It's not compatible directly with ESXi so I thought using it in the NAS would be the next best option... If it'll work. Thanks for any input!
