unRAID 5.0 Final VM in ESXi 5.1 with adaptec 1430sa Passthrough errors

Hi all,

I've been running unraid 5.0 rc 11 for a long time without any errors/issues (over 6 months)

I've decided to upgrade to the final (5.0) kernel 3.9.6 as I noticed it was available. That's when I started having major issues..

Physical Server = core i5-3570 processor (Ivy bridge) with 16GB Ram - unraid is virtualised

The Adaptec card is a 1430sa - 4 port card via VM Passthrough, all the other drives are running via RAW device mappings via the motherboard. (cant remember the model, if its important I will share)

So the problem is that all the drives using the Adaptec card have been producing errors, the RAW device mapped drives produced no errors at all.

I tried upgrading to the latest RC version of unraid 5.01 (RC1) - kernel 3.9.11 however I had the same problem.

I've downgraded to UNRAID 5.0 rc 13 with kernel 3.9.3 - everything is back to normal

Linux UNRAID 3.9.3-unRAID #8 SMP Sun Jun 2 12:30:00 PDT 2013 i686 Intel® Core i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Did anyone experience these issues with the same card?

Is this an incompatibility issue with the Kernel 3.9.3?

Sorry I didn't keep any logs,

I've seen this issue in the forum however its outdated - http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=22253.5;wap2

Thanks in advance
