Mounting the file system that is located on the Smart Array controller works, but as soon as there is some heavier disk activity on the controller (like the daily security runs etc.), the accessing processes hang up and keep stuck in an "uninterruptable disk wait" state. I can't even reboot the machine remotely, I have to go to the system room and push the button. camcontrol now gives this output: [root@raidtest /home/le]# camcontrol tags da0 -v (pass0:ciss0:0:0:0): dev_openings 1024 (pass0:ciss0:0:0:0): dev_active 0 (pass0:ciss0:0:0:0): devq_openings 1024 (pass0:ciss0:0:0:0): devq_queued 0 (pass0:ciss0:0:0:0): held 0 (pass0:ciss0:0:0:0): mintags 2 (pass0:ciss0:0:0:0): maxtags 255 (This is taken from the built-in SmartArray 5i controller, but the figures were the same on the 5300 controller AFAIR. I can't verify it right now, because "camcontrol tags da1" gets stuck too and I'm about 200km away from the machine :-( ). Any hints? I can test more patches if you have them, but not before monday, when I'm back to work. regards, le --=20 Lukas Ertl eMail: l.ertl@univie.ac.at UNIX-Systemadministrator Tel.: (+43 1) 4277-14073 Zentraler Informatikdienst (ZID) Fax.: (+43 1) 4277-9140 der Universit=E4t Wien http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
