[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #2683 has been updated by ftigeot.


Some newer Dell h710 firmwares containing important fixes are available to download.
No direct mention was made of data corruption in the release notes but the controllers could hang in some circumstances with older firmwares.

Bug #2683: HAMMER data corruption with rebranded LSI RAID adapters

----------------------------------------
Two different machines running DragonFly 3.6.x had the kernel report HAMMER CRC32 data corruption and then panic.

After a reboot, the kernel couldn't repair and mount the HAMMER volumes where these CRC32 errors occurred due to massive amounts of data corruption.

The systems had these elements in common:
- DragonFly 3.6.x
- Dell rack servers
- HAMMER filesystem on a hardware RAID volume managed by the mfi(4) LSI MegaRAID SAS driver

The two different machines were apparently using the same kind of rebranded LSI RAID adapter.

PCI id from one of the cards:
