It had been working fine until to around the 19th of this month, and then I started seeing error messages whenever I tried to write lots of data to ZFS..... followed by a nasty lockup with no other debugging information of which to speak of. The following URL is a post about this exact same problem - except on FreeBSD amd64 6.1 http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org/msg01541.html I thought FreeBSD had finally left this issue behind in 7.0 ... but I'm getting the exact same errors..... followed by a complete system lockup. ad10: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad10: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad10: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE RCACHE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad10: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE WCACHE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad10: WARNING - SET_MULTI taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad10: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=97160544 What I did was to rebuild my userland and kernel from the 200706 amd64 snapshot ISO, and lo and behold - the errors disappear and once again my zpool is working like a dream. I assume that *something* was changed in the source tree from between the 15th-18th of this month which caused my card to go haywire like this. I changed my system back to the last snapshot sources on the 20th and haven't updated my system since. Any ideas what caused this regression? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFGec41cuckYiL1ACcRAq9DAJ95wNiQwa1S/RVuFQ3PpGFVelMYWwCeO2jr v9hxg/hbtNKO7eQsyhuQGMQ= =zxsm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
