Hi guys, [ please Cc: me in your replies as I am not subscribed to this list ] I have a 6-STABLE box : % FreeBSD obiwan.tataz.chchile.org 6.0-STABLE FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #0: Mon Nov 7 11:50:33 CET 2005 root@obiwan.tataz.chchile.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 I got a panic as stated in the subject. In order to not overload the mailing list, I put the dmesg extracted from the core as well as the kgdb(1) backtrace in the following files on my webserver. Note that the dmesg contains errors I got just before the box panic()'ed. http://jeremie.le-hen.org/~tataz/dumps/dmesg.panic.vinvalbuf-dirty_bufs.txt http://jeremie.le-hen.org/~tataz/dumps/kgdb.panic.vinvalbuf-dirty_bufs.txt If you need it, here is a dmesg of an alive system : http://jeremie.le-hen.org/~tataz/dumps/dmesg.no_panic.txt I hope this will help to sweep out the bug. In case you need more things, such as a full backtrace or verbose boot dmesg, please, let me know. FWIW, does the following error means my disk is dead ? % unknown: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA48 retrying (1 retry left) LBA=487055103 Thank you.
