Hi, I'm running ZFS of of 8 disks on an areca 1120.... Things were just running fine until I tried upgrading to the most recent STABLE. Turns out that my configuration causes a panic in arcmsr.c:2093, Because the MTX is multiple invoked here. Now my previous working version dates from 26/2, and since then a new release from areca was imported..... So I tried opgrading my firmware to 1.49, but to no avail. The system keeps panicing. So I guess that there is still a coding error somewhere in the driver. But I'm not into this enough to even know where to start looking for tracing this..... But perhaps somebody has a suggestion? Thanx, --WjW

Hi Ching, Thanks very much for the quick turn around! The person who was having the error is actually Willem, not me. All has been running fine for my setup, but I will deploy it as well to test. ---Mike On 6/26/2011 10:49 PM, ??? wrote:> Hi Mike, > > Thanks for your bug report. > Please compile the new driver in attached zip file and try again. > > Thanks, > Ching > > 2011/6/26 Mike Tancsa <mike@sentex.net <mailto:mike@sentex.net>> > > On 6/25/2011 7:53 PM, Willem Jan Withagen wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm running ZFS of of 8 disks on an areca 1120.... > > Things were just running fine until I tried upgrading to the most > recent > > STABLE. > > > > Turns out that my configuration causes a panic in > > > > arcmsr.c:2093, > > Because the MTX is multiple invoked here. > > > > > But perhaps somebody has a suggestion? > > > I am running RELENG_8 as of June 20th on a different controller and > havent had any problems with it.

However upon reboot it again paniced. This time in arcmsc.c: 1298 with: mtx_lock_sleep recursed on non-recursive mutex Is this enough for you to figure out what went wrong? Otherwise tell me how to diagnose the problem. Regards, --WjW
