    LSI Megaraid SCSI problems

    Hi,
    we're having trouble with new LSI MegaRaid cards we have purchased and are using under Linux (2.6 kernel). Both a 320-1 and a 320-2x are installed with 8 SCSI Ultra320 disks on the first and 16 on the second. The SCSI disks are all configured in pairs as Raid1s but the performance is less than that of an old machine of ours and the logs show errors regarding drive cache. We will not be buying another one of these unless we can get decent stable performance out of it.
    The relevant logs are follow:
    Code:

    Anybody know anything about this?
