Subject: Re: 3ware 9550 using 3w-9xxx driver lockups ?

Looks to me like you have a bad drive (or several bad drives, if
other drives on other machines are reallocating sectors as well).

Many reallocated sectors could be a sign that your drive is about to die...
Are you booting off this disk?

Have you run smartmontools on those bad disks?

You fail to mention your raid configuration.

Are you running the latest 3ware firmware for that controller?  There
is a Linux specific userspace firmware update utility.

Also, this topic is better served on the linux-scsi email list.
