You didn't say if you're running plain [parrallel] ATA or Serial
ATA. Nearly two years ago I tried to replace our Samba file server
with a new box running SATA with the Adaptec controller (1210??)
based on the SiI 3112 chipset (same one ragged on here a couple days
ago) and FBSD 5.something. Never made it into production -- same
hangs you describe.
I filed this issue:
kern/70379: System hangs under heavy disk IO with SiI 3112 SATA150
There were a couple related fixes, but none completely cured it. I
switched to a Promise SATA controller, and the problem was lessened
to the point the machine was usable. But I can still make it hang
just tar'ing a file system to a tar file on the same drive.
Just bought a new Dell SC430 with SATA to replace the whole
thing. Running 6.0 for a week now, and it seems solid. It's all
Intel electronics: atapci0: <Intel ICH7 UDMA100 controller>. Don't
know if the controllers are junk, or it's a FBSD issue. Once the new
machine is swapped in, I plan to experiment with 6.0 on the old one to see.
