--=-=-= I'm not seeing much in the way of responses to this post from freebsd-questions, so I thought I'd take it to freebsd-stable, where it is probably more relevant. ;-) Please see my original thread on freebsd-questions for context.

Apparently, the fact that the stress tool produced so few warnings may have given me a false sense of security. I'm being treated to the following messages (81 in total) today, after 8 days uptime: Sep 6 11:35:27 mybox kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=8348191 ... Sep 6 18:59:09 mybox kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=8348383 Sep 6 19:04:58 mybox kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=61749183 The READ_DMA timeouts are happening very infrequently, but it's worth mentioning that I'm seeing them now in addition. This is quite disturbing, particularly when the machine in question is *in*production.* Has anyone who has experienced this pain found solace in 5-STABLE's ATA drivers? dmesg below. -- Anthony Chavez http://anthonychavez.org/ mailto:acc@anthonychavez.org jabber:acc@jabber.anthonychavez.org Copyright (c) 1992-2005 The FreeBSD Project.
