Currently we run perf on 14 drives, 2 connected to motherboard ide and 12 connected to 2 HighPoint Tech RocketRaid 454. The 454 has no native driver for freebsd as of yet and we are told by hpt to run it using the 404's driver. We ran perf with 18 drives about one week ago, and after we mounted the last 4 (raided that is) it worked fine for like half an hour or maybe a whole hour then it locked the mount point. It's not reported in any logs and the hpt374.status sysctl that is set reports no trouble neither. I'm thinking that it might be a driver problem but I don't see why it ONLY occurs when we have the raid mounted... never if we have 1 or 2 out of 3 mounted. But as soon as all drives are mounted. Oh yeah, it doesn't matter which raid we mount as the last... it's always the LAST one mounted that f00bars... The computer has a 550W PSU so power should not really be a problem. Nor does it have any i/o to talk about... I'd say in a given day it reads about 50gig and writes about 10-30gig. Any clues? :o) dmesg follows for perf Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.
