Hi Leonard ( and all the other Linux/SCSI gurus :-);

What happens if the HBA starts losing interrupts every now and then?

As I was reading the dialogue on this sublject, it occured to me that the
problem is more severe when the I/O rate is high. not the amount of data
as much as the number of I/O operations per second. In a PC, these are
typically directly related to interrupts. I also noticed that a busy NFS
connection will aggravate it even more. and I just saw that when NFS was
busy on these partitions, I was loosing interrupts on the wd.c driver.

Sincerely Yours,
