Could you try SMP kernel without IPF support and without using IPF module? Could you confirm, that your SMP kernel is not crashing when you do not use IPF? Interesting that the box has survived almost two days now, while it was always crashing after at least 8 hours. Anyway, I have compiled a n

RELENG_6 SATA drive error

2005-07-12 Thread Michael C. Shultz
I have one IDE and two SATA drives in my system. With FreeBSD 5.4 the system would not boot from the SATA drive so I use the IDE as the primary then mount the SATA drives in fstab. I tried upgrading to RELENG_6 and with the new kernel one of the SATA drives errors out and so can't be mounted. I

ataraid - RAID5 in RELENG_6?

2005-07-12 Thread Tim Bishop
I'm having a fiddle with RELENG_6 and while setting up a RAID1 system disk I noticed that atacontrol now lets you create a RAID5 device. I gave it a whirl and it seemed to work - I have a device I can "use". But is this working properly? I don't have a hardware raid card, just a plain old SATA car

Yes, there is absolutely no difference. Disabled HTT in the BIOS and in FreeBSD, the box still crashes. Matt again :) So far a 13 day up time after switching from IPF to PF. If thats not the problem, I hope I find it soon considering this is a production server ... but it seems to be more st
