Mine is SAS and yours is SCSI mpt0: <LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter> port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xdffec000-0xdffeffff,0xdfff0000-0xdfffffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2 mpt0: [ITHREAD] mpt0: MPI Version=1.5.16.0 da0 at mpt0 bus 0 target 8 lun 0 da0: <LSILOGIC Logical Volume 3000> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 300.000MB/s transfers da0: Command Queueing Enabled da0: 476837MB (976562176 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 60788C) I have however noticed that the events only occur at specific times. So far I have noticed them only at boot time just after dmesg identifies the adapter and also whenever I try to install/upgrade a port. It doesn't matter what port it is but here is an example (seen as I'm having trouble with the mysql port not compiling but that's for a different thread) # make ===> Extracting for mysql-client-5.0.75 => MD5 Checksum OK for mysql-5.0.75.tar.gz. => SHA256 Checksum OK for mysql-5.0.75.tar.gz. #######Long pause here of >30 seconds with the mpt0 errors being logged ===> Patching for mysql-client-5.0.75
