Hi guys,
I'm running 7-STABLE, last synced early June (June 7 I think). I have
two SATA disks, identical 160G Western Digital WD1600AAJS on a SiS 180
SATA controller that are gmirrored, and the mirror provides all of my
individual filesystems. After I built the mirror in single user mode and
rebooted, I started getting DMA errors such as:
Jun 21 11:56:28 hautlos kernel: ad6: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1
retry left) LBA=2830976
Jun 21 11:56:28 hautlos kernel: ad6: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1
retry left) LBA=2901888
Jun 21 11:56:28 hautlos kernel: ad6: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1
retry left) LBA=2995328
The LBA is apparently random. Most of the time this just makes the
machine crawl and is annoying, but if, say, a filesystem were removed
uncleanly from a power failure, the combined activity of the mirror
rebuilding and the fsck cause much more disconcerting errors, eg:
Jun 21 11:48:46 hautlos kernel: ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER
MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly
Jun 21 11:49:02 hautlos kernel: ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER

Jun 21 11:49:02 hautlos kernel: ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE WCACHE
taskqueue timeout - completing request directly
Jun 21 11:49:02 hautlos kernel: ad4: WARNING - SET_MULTI taskqueue
timeout - completing request directly
Jun 21 11:49:02 hautlos kernel: ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1
retry left) LBA=196200751
Jun 21 11:49:02 hautlos kernel: ad6: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1
retry left) LBA=196442127
But, now for the weird part...
I tried booting in single user mode, disabling DMA, and disabling ACPI,
to no avail. Soft boot, hard boot, doesn't matter. But - if I power the
machine down, cut power to the power supply, and cycle the remaining
juice through the system by hitting the ATX power on, and then boot up,
the DMA errors completely or nearly completely vanish. Since I did this
on Jun 21 I have logged only 2 READ_DMA timeouts:
messages:Jun 22 03:02:15 hautlos kernel: ad4: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA
retrying (1 retry left) LBA=56884207
messages:Jun 24 10:52:41 hautlos kernel: ad4: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA
retrying (1 retry left) LBA=243514511
Does anyone have any ideas? I've googled but can't find any solutions.
I'm not currently subscribed to stable@, so please cc: me in responses.
