Dear subscribers, I am currently running a production server: FreeBSD 6.2 STABLE Onboard Intel ICH8R Raid 1 with 2x SATA300 500GB HDD Using ATA for Raid1 In my today's /var/log/messages I found: Nov 22 03:01:33 www kernel: DOH! ata_alloc_composite failed! Nov 22 03:01:33 www last message repeated 28 times I've seen several topics on similar problems but without resolution. Other users have seen the problem when there is heavy I/O, the UID check done by one of the Periodic/Security scripts has been mentioned. Not impossible because the error occurs around 03:00 hours, when Periodic/Daily is ran. Someone has a clew on what this could be? Should I be worrying for my data? How can I do some more diagnostics without putting the server down (if possible)? Please see my next post / question on Raid Synchronisation / Data Consistency. Kind regards, Jan Catrysse
