>Synopsis: hptmv ( Highpoint RocketRaid 1820a ) corrupts fs on shutdown -p
>Severity: serious
>Priority: high
>Category: kern
>Class: sw-bug
>Release: FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p2 i386
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD r2d2.multiplay.co.uk 5.4-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p2 #5:

>Description:
When shutting down with power off e.g. shutdown -p now a machine with a
Highpoint RocketRaid 1820a ( more than likely the 1820 as well )
corrupts
the FS bad enough to force recorvery in single user mode.
The problem occurs because the disk flush is async and no time is given
for this to happen.
>How-To-Repeat:
Shutdown a box with a hptmv based controller with power off.
>Fix:
Apply the following patch which adds a 5 second delay after calling
flush.
Note: the fix is only relavent for i386 as there is no source for amd64,
which is also affected. I've informed Highpoint of the issue but as yet
no updated driver has been released.
