I've tried RELENG_6_2, RELENG_6 and RELENG_7 at various points in time, using either the onboard SATA and gmirror or PCI-X 9550SE 3wares. My results are: Given enough time and load every combination has hung. My best results: RELENG_6_2 with the 3ware cards. I can get 2 weeks out of a box at moderate load on average before it panics. Worst results: Tied between RELENG_7 with the 3ware cards and RELENG_6_2 with the onboard SATA in native SATA mode. Data corruption is so bad installation is generally not possible. I can probably manage SSH + serial console access to anyone who wants to take a crack at fixing for a while with whatever combination of hardware and FreeBSD version you want. We're in the process of migrating off them, which will leave some hardware laying around for a couple weeks. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5A8C 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHVG+MJvkB8SevrssRAirTAJ9e5xq942WzlUsPxKwwTCrkkswzUACdFfIg whBrxgy3lZDaMvrthjA5XHE= =aZt6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
