-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ran into a small problem with this patch-kit on RELENG_5 .. Jul 29 21:01:06 mail kernel: FAILURE - out of memory in ata_raid_init_request ~ .. after which the box promptly rebooted (no console, sorry). The box is most definitely "memory constrained" (as in snippets of dmesg below) but not so much that I would expect this. In the RELENG_5 code, memory allocation in the driver is done slightly differently .. #define ata_alloc_request() uma_zalloc(ata_zone, M_NOWAIT | M_ZERO) ~ .. versus .. buf1 = malloc(sizeof(struct ar_buf), M_AR, M_NOWAIT | M_ZERO); /* XXX */ ~ .. in their respective 'strategy' functions. Did the shift to 'uma_zalloc' break my machine? ;-) Michael Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (348.49-MHz 686-class CPU) Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x651 Stepping = 1 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: Features=0x183f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR> Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: real memory = 402653184 (384 MB) Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: avail memory = 388505600 (370 MB) ~ [ .. ] Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: atapci1: <HighPoint HPT372N UDMA133 controller> port 0x1400-0x14ff,0x1010-0x1013,0x1018-0x101f,0x1014-0 x1017,0x1040-0x1047 irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ata2: <ATA channel 0> on atapci1 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ata3: <ATA channel 1> on atapci1 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ahc0: <Adaptec 2930CU SCSI adapter> port 0x1800-0x18ff mem 0xd0000000-0xd0000fff irq 10 at device 14.0 on pci0 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: aic7860: Ultra Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/253 SCBs ~ [ .. ] Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: atapicam0: <ATAPI CAM Attachment> on ata0 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: atapicam1: <ATAPI CAM Attachment> on ata1 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: acd0: CDROM <NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:28D/3.03> at ata1-master UDMA33 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: atapicam2: <ATAPI CAM Attachment> on ata2 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ad4: 152627MB <SAMSUNG SP1604N TM100-24> at ata2-master UDMA133 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ad5: 152627MB <SAMSUNG SP1604N TM100-24> at ata2-slave UDMA133 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: atapicam3: <ATAPI CAM Attachment> on ata3 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ad6: 152627MB <SAMSUNG SP1604N TM100-24> at ata3-master UDMA133 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ad7: 152627MB <SAMSUNG SP1604N TM100-24> at ata3-slave UDMA133 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: sa0: <HP C1537A L706> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15) Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: pass1 at ata1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: pass1: <NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:28D 3.03> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: pass1: 33.000MB/s transfers Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ATA PseudoRAID loaded Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ar0: 305255MB <HighPoint v2 RocketRAID RAID0+1 array> status: READY Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad4 at ata2-master Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ar0: disk1 READY (master) using ad5 at ata2-slave Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ar0: disk2 READY (mirror) using ad6 at ata3-master Jul 29 21:03:39 mail kernel: ar0: disk3 READY (mirror) using ad7 at ata3-slave -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) iD8DBQFC7AO6iJykeV6HPMURAs06AJ9IkIuV1g6+McqIP8CUseJcvk1X2QCg/q6v qPLAWwnjU5j4MbEgetCCKjA=DXcF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
