This actually crashes our box. I cannot SIGKILL the cp command and have to /sbin/reboot to restore the system. Are there any nfs/vinum issues at present? Or am I being stupid? I'm running 3.4-STABLE/SMP with the latest kernel tree and 2 Adaptec aic7895 Ultra SCSI adapter controllers. cvsup'd yesterday with *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3. I'm led to believe this tag is correct for 3.4-STABLE but not 100% confident about that. The drives are SEAGATE ST118273LW. Here's my vinum.conf darren@bod darren$ cat /etc/vinum.conf drive d1 device /dev/da1e drive d2 device /dev/da2e drive d3 device /dev/da3e drive d4 device /dev/da4e volume raid setupstate plex org striped 256K sd drive d1 size 0 sd drive d2 size 0 plex org striped 256K sd drive d3 size 0 sd drive d4 size 0 I've been reading / writing / deleting a 70 meg archive onto the RAID volume without any problems at all. It's just NFS that causes the headache and put it into a loop of hangs :-( Once i've "rebooted" and try to copy files onto /raid after the system crash, it hangs again in a loop :-( I have no idea what or when this loop is reset. vinum list -r also shows everything up as ok.

There's no reason why it shouldn't be on a Vinum volume. many thanks, Darren -- Darren Evans Tel: +44(0)20 7700 9960 Systems, Profero Ltd Fax: +44(0)20 7700 9961 -- Darren Evans Tel: +44(0)20 7700 9960 Systems, Profero Ltd Fax: +44(0)20 7700 9961 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
