Not quite -STABLE, but still interesting I hope: we run a PowerEdge 2550 with 4.4-RC4. Not under heavy load yet, and (thus ? ;-) no production problems yet. But read on. > Searched thru the mailing list archives and saw that some folks had a > bit of trouble with 4.3 recognising the PERC controller. It was recognized without problems : aac0: <Dell PERC 3/Di> mem 0xf0000000-0xf7ffffff irq 2 at device 2.1 on pci2 aac0: i960RX 100MHz, 126MB total memory, optional battery present (3) aac0: Kernel 2.5-0, S/N fafaf001379810d2 aacd0: <RAID 5> on aac0 When we unplug a drive, the system nicely starts complaining. But when we reinsert the drive the whole thing (=filesystem access) hangs :( We found out that we needed to reboot the system before reinserting the drive. Raid rebuilding then works correctly. You might want to check how this works for you. groetjes, Hans Lambermont -- http://lambermont.webhop.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
