Under Solaris 10 u6 , No matter how I configured my ARECA 1261ML Raid card I got errors on all drives that result from SCSI timeout errors. yoda:~ # tail -f /var/adm/messages Jan 9 11:03:47 yoda.asc.edu scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Requested Block: 239683776 Error Block: 239683776 Jan 9 11:03:47 yoda.asc.edu scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Vendor: Seagate

Just as I create a ZFS pool and copy the root partition to it.... the performance seems to be really good then suddenly the system hangs all my sesssions and displays on the console: Oct 10 00:23:28 sunrise arcmsr: WARNING: arcmsr0: dma map got ''no resources'' Oct 10 00:23:28 sunrise arcmsr: WARNING: arcmsr0: dma allocate fail Oct 10 00:23:28 sunrise arcmsr: WARNING: arcmsr0:

Hi. I'm looking at deploying a freebsd 7-release server with some storage attached to an areca ARC-1680 controller. But this card is not mentioned in 'man 4 arcmsr' (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=arcmsr&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE). Areaca's website does mention freebsd as a supported OS (http://www.areca.com.tw/products/pcietosas1680series.htm). Has

Hi, To follow up my CentOS 4.0/Areca SATA RAID driver disk I created a month or two ago, I have now created kernel-module-arcmsr RPMs containing just the kernel module to track the kernel updates. This means: a) No need to patch, rebuild and maintain customised kernels for Areca support b) Keep everything maintained with RPM I've taken the latest 1.20.00.07 kernel driver source as found in

Two weeks ago I (clean-)installed CentOS 6.2 on a server which had been running 5.7. There is a 16 disk = ~11 TB data volume running on an Areca ARC-1280 raid card with LVM + xfs filesystem on it. The included arcmsr driver module is loaded. At first it seemed ok, but with in a few hours I started getting I/O error message on directory listings, and then a bit later when I did a vgdisplay

Hi, is the areca 1100 Raid Controller supported by CentOS 5? Or is there a kmod rpm available? Thanks Juergen

Hi. I installed solaris express developer edition (b79) on a supermicro quad-core harpertown E5405 with 8 GB ram and two internal sata-drives. I installed solaris onto one of the internal drives. I added an areca arc-1680 sas-controller and configured it in jbod-mode. I attached an external sas-cabinet with 16 sas-drives 1 TB (931 binary GB). I created a raidz2-pool with ten disks and one spare.

I must be doing something horribly wrong and I hope somebody can help. The Areca arc-1224 is not supported by the Areca driver included driver in 7.1 so I have to supply that when starting the install. Documentation provided by Areca and in the Red Hat install guide say the same thing, put the driver on an accessible medium then append inst.dd on the boot command, choose the driver and now the

Hi, To satisfy my own requirements, I''ve created a driver disk for the Areca SATA RAID controllers[0]. It currently contains the 1.20.00.06 driver built for the x86_64 SMP and non-SMP kernels, but should be fairly straightforward to add the driver built for 32-bit x86 kernels as well. You can find the driver disk and instructions here: http://www.bodgit-n-scarper.com/code.html#centos

Hello, Sorry for the (very) long subject but I''ve pinpointed the problem to this exact situation. I know about the other threads related to hangs, but in my case there was no < zfs destroy > involved, nor any compression or deduplication. To make a long story short, when - a disk contains 2 partitions (p1=32GB, p2=1800 GB) and - p1 is used as part of a zfs mirror of rpool

Hi listmembers, not a really urgent question, but i''m just curious about it: Is it advised to use an irqbalanced on dom0 when running domU''s pinned to particular cores? as an example, i''ve got a dual quadcore xen system running with domU pinned to cores 1-3 (CPU#0) domU pinned to cores 4-5 (CPU#1) domU pinned to cores 6-7 (CPU#1) so dom0 should have 100% time on

Has anyone experienced any problems with Areca raid cards specifically the 1220 causing kernels to lock up? We are running 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen on 64bit. We have "areca_cli rsf info" run once an hour from cron to check for raid raid issues. Having this running seems to cause the box to lock up. Whats weird is I can't seem to make it lock up while running that command by

Running C6 fileserver. Want to replace 7 year old HDs connected to an Areca ARC-1220 raid sata II (3Gb/s) controller. Has anyone used this controller with newer 2TB SATA III (6Gb/s) WD Re drives like the WD2000FYYZ or the WD2004FBYZ?

Just wondering if anyone has seen performance tests on Areca SATA controllers? How good are they compared to LSI "X" series and 3ware 9500s? And last but not least, are the drivers included in the stock kernel? Regards, Harald -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Is anyone running any Areca RAID controllers with the latest CentOS 7 kernel, 3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64? We recently updated (from 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64), and we?ve started having lots of problems. To add to the confusion, there?s also a hardware problem (either with the controller or the backplane most likely) that we?re in the process of analyzing. Regardless, we have an ARC1883i, and

Hello, I have a RAID-6 Partition with the Areca ARC-1231 card on a S5000PAL Intel system with 6 disks as part of the raid volume. The system has been set up as Write-back cache and the raid card has a 2 GIG memory cache on it. It is installed on Freebsd 7.0 STABLE with SCHED_ULE enabled. I have a folder with a lot of small and big files in it that total 3009 files. In the user system we

Hi Valeri, Before you pull a drive you should check to make sure that doing so won't kill the whole array. MegaCli can help you prevent a storage disaster and can let you have more insight into your RAID and the status of the virtual disks and the disks than make up each array. MegaCli will let you see the health and status of each drive. Does it have media errors, is it in predictive
