Hello, This file server was upgraded from 6.2-RELEASE-p$something to 6.3-RELEASE-p3 (current RELENG_6_3 sources via csup) on August, 11 and rebooted to the new kernel on August, 12. The school is closed due to holidays. The only load is mail delivery to Maildirs via NFS from another server (just 50 mailboxes or so, none of them very busy) and nightly backups. I went there on August, 13 to perform

Hello Everyone, I started seeing some ata errors on a server running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE that I've never seen before. This probably has something to do with it but we just upgraded the RAM on the server from 1 GB to 2 GB (DDR 400), perhaps a cable got slightly loose. I'm pretty certain the hard drives are good since the server ran fine prior to the memory upgrade. What do the errors below

When I use SATA disks heavily on a 5.3-R machine (Athlon) with the SiI3512 disk controller, I get frequent (sometimes one every 1-5 minutes) WRITE_DMA timed out messages (with different blocks and both disks). It also panics with more than one kind of panic, and sometimes doesn't even get to finish the background fsck from the previous panic before dying again. Given that both disks get the

Hi, I currently encounter spin lock 0xc0c83ba8 (sio) held by 0xc6337460 (tid 100005) too long panic: spin lock held too long cpuid=3 on hp server with two dual-core intel xeon (3.8GHz) and 3GB RAM. System is 7.1-PRELEASE last fetched 29.11.2008, 17:58 UTC. This happens with VSCom Card that was previously in use in a 5.3-STABLE system (also hp server, but older hardware) without problems. The

Good morning, I'm having a bit of an issue getting a 3CR990B-TXM NIC detected and usable. Just wondering if anyone knows of any issues with this NIC chipset and/or with the motherboard chipset. The motherboard is a Biostar GeForce 6100 AM2 using an nVidia nForce 410 chipset and nVidia GeForce 6100 vide chipset. I've tried FreeBSD 6.1, 6.2, 6-STABLE (from Wed), and 7-CURRENT (from

Hello, I am trying to use a 1.5TB Eonstor raid array with FreeBSD 7.0, but I don't understand whether it is the raid or the scsi card or something else that is causing the computer problems when accessing the raid. My problem is that soon after recognizing the attached disk during boot, FreeBSD appears to hang for about 10 seconds and then says ahd0: Recovery Initiated - Card

I have a new system which includes a Plextor PX-740a DVD+-R/RW CD-R/RW drive attached to an Asus A8V-MX motherboard. When I try to use burncd to burn a cd, it writes all of the data, says "fixating CD, please wait.." and then reports burncd: ioctl(CDRIOCFIXATE): Input/output error Oddly enough, the CD seems to be usable. I can successfully burn the same file if I use cdrecord. The

Hello, My server is experiencing occasional kernel panics when under moderate load. I'm attaching a crash dump and the dmesg output. I'm not sure how to read the kernel backtrace but it looks like the Intel NIC (em0) caused the problem. Occasionally, I used to get a "em0: watchdog timeout -- resetting" error message, but I never had a kernel panic. The problem started last

One of our FreeBSD boxes has a SCSI controller and disk, which showed problems earlier this week. There was a lot of of chatter from the SCSI driver in /var/log/messages and to the console. However, the console is unattended and we only discovered the problem subsequently because /var/log/console.log didn't show any of the chatter. console.log is otherwise working, and very helpful (e.g. it

Hello list, Last night one disk of my desktop machine dead causing a hard lock of the computer. It was a component of a mirror volume so it wasn't as serious as it initially looked. Unfortunately, the metadata structure of my data partition (a geom raid3 array with tree components ) seems to be corrupted by this hard lock, the following message is scrolled constantly on the screen:

I have an Asus A8V-MX motherboard with an AMD Athlong 64 X2 3800+ CPU and I'm trying to run powerd to keep it cooler/quieter/greener. I'm running -STABLE (6.1-RC) cvsup'ed a couple of days ago, with a kernel config that consists of the SMP sample plus an atapicam device. I'm loading the cpufreq.ko module in /boot/loader.conf.

Hi all, I have some problems with my gvinum setup after the system panic'ed. Afterwards the system fails finding the plexes to the subdisks (or at least that is what I can understand after having searched the gvinum source code for the error string in the DMESG log..) The machine is an IBM Netfinity 5000 and the internal HW self tests does not find any errors in the hw. Luckily my root is

Hello Got strange problem with high system "%system load" and very slow user level programs (apache+php+mysql) behavior gstat shows 1.5-4% hard disk busy load but system shows about 20-30% load while user load is max 5%. vmstat shows from 2 to 35 process in "b" state. Now use 7.0-RELEASE-p5 , but the same problem was with 7.0-RELEASE. And have no idea what to do with this.

Hi I have a newly installed FreeBSD 6.0 release machine on which I am getting the following error on the console: "ad4: req=0xc23bc258 SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE semaphore timeout !! DANGER Will Robinson !!" This is generally associated with heightened disk activity, but it happens inevitably after a while (minutes or hours) if the machine is running. The atacontrol list shows:
