I just noticed something very strange on one of our Dell PE1750 servers. It is running FreeBSD 4-STABLE on dual CPU's with the embedded Dell Raid controller (amr driver). Attached are 3 disks of 145GB. On a RAID5 logical drive this gives me ~280GB storage. Up until the last reboot (35 days ago) the 'amrcontrol' status utility gave me: Logical drive 0 Stipes blah Size blah STATUS=OPTIMAL Now it gives: STATUS=UNKNOWN RAID0 No logical drives The only thing that happened in between was an update from 4.11-p-something to 4-STABLE. I failed to check the status and the check script failed to send out an SMS because of the UNKNOWN status. First I thought a disk had died, but using MEGAMGR I can see that all drives are ONLINE. Hence, no dead disks. To be on the safe side I would like to boot the system to see what the driver reports at bootup but I'm afraid that because of the funny RAID config it won't survive the boot. And it's a 1,5 hour drive that I don't want to make! Besides, I have several identical systems that don't experience this, neither on 5.x or 6.x. Anybody have any clues on what's going on?
