Hi, firstly: RELENG_8 csup'd with date=2010.02.14.00.00 works perfectly for days.
RELENG_8 csup'd with date=2010.02.15.00.00 dead-locks the disk I/O subsystem. Network still operational but anything needing disk hangs. Power-cycle required. kernel config is GENERIC with KDB, DDB and BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER options added. hardware: ahc0: <Adaptec 29160 Ultra160 SCSI adapter> port 0x4000-0x40ff mem 0xefa00000-0xefa00fff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci10 ahc0: [ITHREAD] aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs da0: <SEAGATE ST3146707LW 0005> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da1: <SEAGATE ST3146707LW 0005> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device The dead-lock can happen at any time, but I can provoke it by running a bonnie++ disk test. It happens doing rm -rf /usr/obj/usr and it has happened doing a make installworld. It can survive a make buildworld (the system runs normally until it decides to dead-lock). The box (HP ProLiant ML 110) has 2 scsi disks and 4 sata disks. The 2010.02.15 kernel will run perfectly for days on the SATA disks. *Only* when the scsi disks are accessed will the system dead-lock. Note that the SATA disks do not work either if the system has dead-locked. I can provide more details and a vmcore.0 if anyone is interested. -andyf _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
