Hi, We are running an Intel BSD Box and have had some problems with the drive files systems blowing up or freezing. Can you please direct this to the appropriate person or list? We Started out with 2.2.5 and an adaptec 2940 and two (unterminated) Seagate drives and everything was fine. Added a 3940, a Quantum drive, installed 2.2-19980629-RELEASE and cam drivers on 6/29. The message below appeared. The quantum was terminated, the seagates were not, so we terminated the seagates (at this point all three drives were terminated via a termination block that was on an adapter that the hotswappable drives plugged into). The ugly message came back, but not as quickly. After some juggling, we discovered that the seagates were not happy being terminated with the termination block on the hot swap adapters. Got some active terminators and terminated a single seagate with it. Then the problem would always appear on places other than that drive so we thought it was fixed. As a final test, we ran bonnie on with the two seagates only in the machine, each on a separate channel, and each terminated with an active terminator. The ugly message returned. Been struggling with it since 6/29 and about to scrap the idea. This was to be a squid box (performs really well until filesystems freeze) this project is at the do or die phase. We are going back into the loop of proprietary hardware/software if we can't make it fly. If we can make it fly, then we want to build several large scale systems. Any ideas are welcome. Reinstalling from scratch is an option.
