Hi All,

I'm trying out -CURRENT on an IBM HS21 blade. So far the machine looks stable.
Only thing that bothers me is the message as stated above.

db46-23-freebsd# uptime
11:25AM  up 55 mins, 5 users, load averages: 0.01, 0.90, 1.21
db46-23-freebsd# dmesg | grep -c "QUEUE FULL EVENT"
111
db46-23-freebsd# uname -a
FreeBSD db46-23-freebsd 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Thu Oct 11 11:09:46 CEST 2007     root@blowfish:/usr/obj/amd64/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
db46-23-freebsd#

Is this something to worry about?

The LSI Logic controller in question is configured as a hardware RAID-0
Informations about the controller:
at boot time from dmesg:

mpt0: <LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter> port 0x4000-0x40ff mem 0xdeffc000-0xdeffffff,0xdefe0000-0xdefeffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2

and from pciconf -lv

    vendor     = 'LSI Logic (Was: Symbios Logic, NCR)'
    device     = 'SAS 3000 series, 4-port with 1064E -StorPort'

PS.: FWIW, Linux 2.6.20 had severe problems with this specific mpt controller - patches came with Linux 2.6.21
Looks like the LSI Logic stuff isn't very well supported. On the other hand, there's now way around them when using IBM blades :(
Same counts for the bce(4) NIC.
