I tried to re-create the situation over here. I have a z/VM 6.4: q cplevel z/VM Version 6 Release 4.0, service level 1901 (64-bit) Generated at 06/14/19 14:15:49 UTC
and there is a VM guest running from the time I did 18.04.4 regression testing, hence it's up since quite some time: buntu@zbox:~$ uptime 05:16:47 up 36 days, 22:17, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 but has an older kernel: ubuntu@zbox:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic ubuntu@zbox:~$ uname -a Linux zbox 4.15.0-76-generic #86-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 17 17:23:44 UTC 2020 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux ubuntu@zbox:~$ It has 4 FBA devices: $ lszdev | grep yes dasd-eckd 0.0.0200 yes yes dasda dasd-fba 0.0.0101 yes yes dasdc dasd-fba 0.0.0102 yes yes dasdb dasd-fba 0.0.0103 yes yes dasdd dasd-fba 0.0.0104 yes yes dasde qeth 0.0.0600:0.0.0601:0.0.0602 yes yes enc600 generic-ccw 0.0.0009 yes yes I had a look at the logs (dmesg,syslog) and couldn't find any problems with FBA devices: ubuntu@zbox:~$ dmesg -xT -l emerg,alert,crit,err ubuntu@zbox:~$ grep 'error\|fail\|crash\|warn\|crit' /var/log/syslog Mar 12 06:57:46 zbox systemd-resolved[371]: Server returned error NXDOMAIN, mitigating potential DNS violation DVE-2018-0001, retrying transaction with reduced feature level UDP.

In other words I was not able to recreate the problem. I work on a z13 with a DS8870. What about your system? Did you double checked that there are no issues in the environment and the FBA definition? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: ubuntu-z-systems Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867118 Title: dasd_fba io error and kernel panic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1867118/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
