Hello,
I have a server with 8 hdd attached to a SAS HBA (Dell Perc H310 with IT firmware), no raid is used : for each hard disk, a filesystem and a mountpoint.
When the system is under high load with lot of r/w, I have a disk (not the same each time !) which reset itself for no reason.
This time it was /dev/sdg, when it happened, I was running a (long) smart test on 4 drives and started a copy to an other disk. /dev/sdg was totally idle..
Other than that, the airflow is good, temp are ok and I already replaced the mini sas and power cables.. :o

Can it be related to the io scheduler used (MQ_IOSCHED_DEADLINE) ? Should I switch to BFQ ? Any idea or tip to troubleshoot this ?

I recompiled my kernel with BFQ built-in and added this udev rule :
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-ioschedulers.rules
Code:
# HDD
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]*", ATTR{queue/rotational}=="1", ATTR{queue/scheduler}="bfq"
# SSD
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]*|mmcblk[0-9]*", ATTR{queue/rotational}=="0", ATTR{queue/scheduler}="bfq"


grep "" /sys/block/*/queue/scheduler
Code:
/sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler:none [bfq]
/sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler:none [bfq]
/sys/block/sdc/queue/scheduler:none [bfq]
/sys/block/sdd/queue/scheduler:none [bfq]
/sys/block/sde/queue/scheduler:none [bfq]
/sys/block/sdf/queue/scheduler:none [bfq]
/sys/block/sdg/queue/scheduler:none [bfq]
/sys/block/sdh/queue/scheduler:none [bfq]
/sys/block/sdi/queue/scheduler:none [bfq]


Looks good.

Right now, I'm finishing copying a lot of files to a drive, so far so good. But there isn't too much stress for now. Once done, I will start again an extended smart test on the four previous drives and stress the card a little with some file copy between disks to see if the problem happens again.
On the other hand, I wonder if the Dell Perc H310 isn't just overheating. There is no sensor for the card but last time I powered off this server, the card was hot as hell. Unfortunately I can't mount a fan on it because of a usb3 pci express card just below in a pcie-x1 slot. Maybe I can mount a 120mm fan to the panel of the case to push some air on the pcie slots though.

Switching to bfq io scheduler instead of mq-deadline seems to does wonders. Almost 48hours uptime with concurrent smart test (1 drive still not finished..) and various rsync (local and remote) copy on different hdd and not a single drive reset yet.
