Re: IDE DMA Timeouts
I'm experiencing the same issue with a brand new install, though different hardware ... I've an Adaptec 1205 SATA controller and a pair of Samsung 160 gig drives. Error only occurs under load, the first time it happened the machine locked and spontaneously rebooted and required a manual fsck of the mirror; which completed successfully, but then rebuilt the mirror very slowly ... Second time, the stressor (copying a 5 gig drive image to it) the machine held up, but got many DMA WRITE errors to ad6 ... below is the smartctl output on that drive, but I don't see anything other than the DMA WRITE errors, though I confess to not being really up on what smartctl outputs ... lighty# ./smartctl -a /dev/ad6 smartctl version 5.33 [i386-portbld-freebsd6.0] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: SAMSUNG HD160JJ Serial Number:S08HJ1MYC31118 Firmware Version: ZM100-33 User Capacity:160,041,885,696 bytes Device is:In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 7 ATA Standard is: ATA/ATAPI-7 T13 1532D revision 4a Local Time is:Mon Feb 20 08:36:15 2006 CST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

Re: Which PCI SATA controller?
Sorry ... just to clarify, this would be running 6.0 and it needs to be a 32bit card ... so as awesome as 3ware cards might be, it does me little good ...

5.5-stable network interface rl0 stops working
Hello everybody, I have a very disturbing problem with one of our FreeBSD 5.5-stable machines. It is a box on which ~10 jail systems run, each with small to moderate network traffic. Now from time to time - sometimes after a few days, sometimes after a couple of weeks - the network interface rl0 (which is the main interface on the maschine, rl1 is for backups/internal use only) stops working. Each jailed system has its own firewall ruleset, permitting only traffic for the services in that specific jail. The packet filter used is ipfw. Some of the rules are stateful (keep-state). When rl0 stops working ipfw loggs lots of denied packets so that it seems that the dynamic (keep-state) rules don't work any longer. We checked and increased the buffers for the dynamic rules to no avail - I doubt they are part of the problem. I'm not even sure ipfw is part of the problem. After the stop on the interface occurs there is no other way to get the interface up and running again than rebooting the whole machine. Restarting /etc/rc.d/netif, the jails or ipfw doesn't help anything. The bad thing is I haven't found any way to trigger this problem so that I can only check and change things and wait if the situation improves or not. For example I've already set debug.mpsafenet="0" but this doesn't help, in contrast it seems to worsen the problem a little bit. Find attached the dmesg output of the machine. If any other information is needed to hunt down the cause of this problem please let me know. I checked various list archives but haven't found a clue yet. -[ dmesg ]- Copyright (c) 1992-2006 The FreeBSD Project.

Switching/exchanging the cards was an option we haven't tried yet although it came to my mind earlier - for sure the strangest problems are hardware related so I'll give this a try and report back. Swapping out the ethernet cable was one of the first things I checked but to no avail. But I'm not really sure if the switch isn't part of the problem (although all other ports function correctly) so I'll change the switch port to. > Another thing to check is if rl0 is sharing an interrupt with another > device. That can cause problems. No there is no interupt sharing for this device but thanks for this hint, I hadn't checked it yet. > > When rl0 stops working ipfw loggs lots of denied packets so that it > > seems that the dynamic (keep-state) rules don't work any longer. We > Does the problem persist without ipfw? I've got an rl0 card on my > workstation (6.1-STABLE, amd64, using PF without problems) Unfortunately I can't check this because we use ipfw to generate traffic statistics for the jails. But when the interface stops working it has no impact to disable the firewall, short of that no log messages are generated any longer. > > After the stop on the interface occurs there is no other way to get > > the interface up and running again than rebooting the whole machine. > > Restarting /etc/rc.d/netif, the jails or ipfw doesn't help anything. > What does ifconfig say after the interface stops working? When the interface stops working ifconfig seems "to think" everything is still ok. There is no hint in the output of ifconfig that the interface is not working and ifconfig down/up doesn't help any. > Anything in the logs, except the denied packets? No strange enough there is no other hint in the logs that the system is not working. At first I thought it was kind of an ipfw problem because packets seem to arrive on the host but the responses get blocked by ipfw. I'll check with tcpdump the next time it happens if it's true that packets still arrive on the system. On the other hand if ipfw is part of the problem (especially the dynamic rules) then flushing ipfw should help I think - but it doesn't. So maybe it's an hardware issue, I'll definitly check this and report back. Thanks for the hints and tips! Best regards, Hank pgptYmaa0xylf.pgp Description: PGP signature
Which PCI SATA controller?
So I'm having similar issues to others with gmirror and SATA throwing DMA WRITE failures under load ... In my searching I"ve found a few references to the Sil3112 chipset being an issue and it's what's in my cheapy Adaptec card ... So if I want to proceed, what is a good PCI SATA controller? -- Hank Marquardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG Id: 2BB5E60C Fingerprint: D807 61BC FD18 370A AC1D 3EDF 2BF9 8A2D 2BB5 E60C ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
installworld fails gnu/usr.bin/groff/font
Installworld is failing, not finding 'R' tag in /gnu/usr.bin/groff/font ... as I had nothing in those directories anyway, I just removed the font directory from the makefile in .groff and the install went fine from there. Originally this happened with a cvsup from 9/22 -- I figured maybe there was an update, so I did again on 9/24 and the same error -- I use cvsup11 as my server. I've never needed to do minor surgery on makefiles to get the install to work so I figured I'd report it.
