Hi, We're using gmirror on our sun fire x2100 and FreeBSD 6.1-p10. Some days ago I found this in the logs: Apr 1 02:12:05 x2100 kernel: ad6: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=612960533 Apr 1 02:12:05 x2100 kernel: ad6: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=10<NID_NOT_FOUND> LBA=612960533 Apr 1 02:12:05 x2100 kernel: GEOM_MIRROR:

Hi. Here you can find patches with changes to gmirror(8) and graid3(8): http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/gmirror.7.patch http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/graid3.patch The patches does the following: - Significant synchronization speed improvement. Now many parallel synchronization I/O requests can be used instead of only one before. Many people requested this. - Close race

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..

Hi there. OS version: FreeBSD 4.7-Stable FreeBSD #3 I just added a disk to my box and after playing with fdisk and disklabel with this configuration: fdisk: **************************************************************** g c16383 h16 s63 p 1 165 0 39102336 **************************************************************** disklabel

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

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:

Hi, I have a problem, probably with the SiI 3512 SATA150 controller in a dual-Opteron IBM eServer 326: Every once a while the kernel issues a message like: ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=150190687 The system waits a few seconds and continues to work normally. It typically occurs several times a day most likely depending on the load of the (SATA connected) hard drive.

Hello, I've got a (P)ATA disk in a special frame. The disk itself supports UDMA-100 (and has an 80-ribbon cable), but the frame isn't compatible with that. By default, FreeBSD negotiates UDMA-100, and the console starts to fill with ICRC errors. In the past, I used a patch to ata-all.c that enabled the following entry in loader.conf to force the disk to UDMA-33, so it worked fine:

I finally fixed my drive error problem. This has been going on quite a while. I've posted before with no success on getting this fixed. I was getting these errors.

Hi After my previous email about the SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE timeout on (msgid 441AA807.5090100@wfeet.za.net , 17 March 14:18 GMT + 2 on freebsd-stable), I installed FreeBSD 6.1 BETA 4 and upgraded to a 6-STABLE kernel, running the box in 'safe' mode to do so. I now, however, get a slightly different error message: ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout

flac123 is back! Version 0.0.3 is now available at http://flac-tools.sourceforge.net . flac123 now supports FLAC 1.1.0, and its remote mode mimics mpg123's. Please test it for bugs and report them to the flac-tools sourceforge forum. _________________________________________________________________ Share holiday photos without swamping your Inbox.

I dumpster dived an older low end Dell (actually, found it in a field in a fresh dump pile). Case looked good, only flaws appeared to be missing cdrom bezel and the heat sink clamp was off (but not broken). After cleaning cpu/heat sink and fresh thermal paste, I found out why it was dumped - the internal hard drive was bad, and the optical drive is going bad. I had an old 80 GB Seagate and

My new PC has an internal 16-in-1 card reader connected via USB 2.0. The device is the Techsolo TCR-1640 (http://www.techsolo.de/product/cardreader/tcr_1640/index.php). I boot from a compact flash inserted in it and I can mount and unmount the same CF once the system has booted and has mounted the root partition from my graid3 array. The problem arise when I replace the inserted CF with another

Hi, I'm pondering building my own SSL accelerator out of a multi-CPU FreeBSD system and a crypto accelerator. What's the recommended hardware crypto accelerator card these days? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@FreeBSD.org, mwlucas@BlackHelicopters.org Today's chance of throwing it all away to start a goat farm: 49.1% http://www.BlackHelicopters.org/~mwlucas/

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

A few weeks back Robert Watson announced the merge of these features from 7 back into 6-STABLE. I hadn't seen any updates and was curious as to the status. Us 6-STABLE users are curious to test it out. Thanks. --A

Hi, Is there a way to tell / narrow down if an issue with errors like below are due to a bad cable or bad port multiplier ? The disks in a particular cage are throwing errors like these below.

Dear 6-STABLE users, In the next 2-3 weeks, I plan to MFC support for CAPP security eventing auditing from 7-CURRENT to 6-STABLE. The implementation has been running quite nicely in -CURRENT for several months. Right now, I'm just waiting on a confirmation from Sun regarding formal allocation of a BSM header version number so as to avoid accidental version number conflicts in the
