PetaSAN version: 3.2.6-k, while their site on sourcforge list 3.8.7
hardware in question 82573E and 82573L
Problem I have is the adapters sometimes reset,
Feb 25 02:28:20 peta5 kernel: [223597.221919] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1 (e1000e): transmit queue 0 timed out
Feb 25 02:28:20 peta5 kernel: [223597.222117] ---[ end trace d407dbec18fa901c ]---
Feb 25 02:28:20 peta5 kernel: [223597.222383] e1000e 0000:07:00.0 eth1: Reset adapter unexpectedly
Some searching indicated it might be hardware and to disable tso and gso
ethtool -K eth0 tso off
ethtool -K eth0 gso off
There is a script floating around fixeep-82573-dspd.sh, that is suppose to check for some saved setting but all mine pass, if its accurate (some power related setting)

It many cases the latest driver will not build on earlier kernels or may not be stable. Most long term distros will fix and maintain an older kernel, backports are done for important changes as required. PetaSAN is using a kernel based on SUSE SLE 15 SP1 and will soon use SP2.

I might have other issues. I have found that I seem to see problems with usb enabled on occasion. And a few other settings related to how sata was configured on a couple of nodes. So working thru getting any unneeded resource disabled.
And just plain and simple under spec'ed hardware. So it might always be a bit touchy and less than stellar performer.
But wish to embrace the platform and this setup will make a great "trainer"
