similar to: PATCH: Forcible delaying of UFS (soft)updates

I've got a fix for the panic from the cd(4)/da(4) drivers when INVARIANTS is turned on in -stable. The fix is to create a task queue that runs in a thread context and use that to create the sysctl variables needed by cd(4) and da(4). The eventual fix will be to move the CAM transport layer probe code into a kernel thread. Anyway, these patches work for me, but if I could get some feedback

Rarely, a geli partition I have freezes a process in bufwait state. It occurs after an ATA timeout message: Aug 5 03:47:13 thor kernel: ad10: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=219028637 The geli partition resides on an Intel MatrixRAID RAID1 mirror using the ICH9R chipset (Asus P5K-E/WIFI). Killing (even -9) the process does not work. Rebooting is the only solution, yet the

Although RAW sockets can be used when specifying the source address of packets (defeating one of the aspects of the jail) some people may find it usefull to use utilities like ping(8) or traceroute(8) from inside jails. Enclosed is a patch I have written which gives you the option of allowing prison-root to create raw sockets inside the prison, so

I have a Lite-On 24102B burner on an Epox 7KXA (VIA 686A southbridge) together with a few SCSI disks. I recently upgraded from FreeBSD 4.5 to 4.7 then almost immediately to 4.8. I've had trouble with the burner since. With FreeBSD 4.5, I used "sysctl hw.atamodes=---,---,dma,---" to set the burner to DMA. Everything then worked fine. As far as I know it was using UDMA33.

Howdy. I apologize for vagueness of this report but I am not immediately sure how to proceed with this or what details will be relevant. I look after a community server which has been running just fine for the last 6 months or so with no disk issues at all. The box has an all in one Shuttle motherboard which uses the VIA 8233 ATA133 disk controller according to what I see from dmesg. The

Hi all, I have had this problem since day 1 on my new server. It has run since November 15th 2008, and serve approx. 10 GB worth of web traffic per month for the main site and then some 40 domains with mail and small web pages. (hence - it's NOT that busy yet) I started with 7.1-RELEASE-pX since I didn't have problems straight off - but it didn't last long. After a few days of

Hi, according to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/amr/amr.c?only_with_tag=RELENG_6 it seems MegaMGR for linux now can work. Any experience? -- Cris, member of G.U.F.I Italian FreeBSD User Group http://www.gufi.org/

I know that this is not necessarily the right forum, but the FreeBSD forum haven''t been able to help me... I recently updated my FreeBSD 8.0 RC3 to 8.1 and after the update I can''t import my zpool. My computer says that no such pool exists, even though it can be seen with the zpool status command. I assume that it''s due to different zfs versions. That should be solved

Hi, The other day I tried to upgrade my firewall by adding another disk. However, no matter what I've tried I haven't been able to resolve this problem. If I try to mount, fsck or disklabel the disk the process will simply halt with no output and will do nothing. ^C also fails to operate, as well as kill -9 (meaning the drive gets locked and I have to reboot to try again). I know

I have a FreeBSD 6.2-based server running a 1.2TB graid3 volume, which consists of 5x 320gb SATA hard drives. I've been getting errors in /var/log/messages from the graid3 volume, which I suspect means an underlying fault with one of the disks, but is there any way to decipher which one of these drives is throwing errors? I've checked smartctl -a /dev/adXX but nothing shows up there..

Hello. I recently upgraded to 9.1-RC3, everything went fine, however the / partition its about to get full.

I am having problems with silent data corruption on (some) drives connected to an MCP55 SATA controller. I have two servers, both running RELENG_7_0/amd64. One has the 570 Ultra chipset, the other has 570 SLI. Both chipsets have the MCP55 SATA controller. The server with 570 Ultra chipset has a bunch of older 250GB SATA-150 drives hooked up to the MCP55 controller and it is working just fine.

Hi , I'm disperated I've recently installed FreeBSD 4.8 ,and all at the first look was ok , this was only a try in a small partition , and now I have decided to install it in a bigger partition , so I've downloaded the 5.1 ISO (to give it a try too) and I've tried to BURN it with "burncd" . Now, I've noticed that in the DEV directory there are the devices
