I just debugged a new Intel box that failed with stalled IO every few days (not even DRBD on it). After disabling IOAT it seem stable now .. .. before that I had a freezing SuperMicro box with some DMA performance options turned on in the bios.. disabling it and it runs stable for half a year now. I don't know what's up these days, every vendor comes up with its own half tested technologies. I've never had so much problems with new hardware than this year. Kinda reminds me of the days of early 3D-accelerator cards. But this is server hardware, it MUST WORK. -- Regards, H.D.
