Try running 20 or so bonnie processes in parallel; I can usually get it to lock up with this configuration. I'm wondering which controller you've got there though - I don't recognise the BIOS/firmware versions. > However, we have a 50Gig CVS repository sitting on the raid > volume.

I've been considering some workarounds involving deferring the command until the controller gives us back an interrupt, but I'm still surprised that we get to this point at all. Unfortunately, I'm not able to spend any time on this at the moment; if someone wants to do a little experimenting I'd be very happy to talk them through what I think should be done (will require some programming ability). -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
