I believe that the adaptec problems have been resolved.

I'm forwarding this to the ISP list for confirmation.

Subject: Is there still problems with Adaptec UW controllers


Hi,
	Im wondering if there are still bugs in the 2.2.2 release of 
FreeBSD.
We're running a News Server which is rebooting randomly.  With no error 
messages showing in /var/logs/messages.

The machine has an Adaptec 3940 UW controller with 5 "FUJITSU M2954Q-512 
0147" drives (4149 MB).  3 on channel A and 2 on channel B.

The machine is using ccd on 4 of the drives.
/etc/ccd.conf:
ccd0    2048    none    /dev/sd1s1e /dev/sd2s1e /dev/sd3s1e /dev/sd4s1e

The News server is INN 1.5.1 sec 2

I've made changes to the Kernel config  including the recommended for a 
News Server:

options         "MAXMEM=262144"
options         CHILD_MAX=256
options         OPEN_MAX=1024
options         "MAXDSIZ=(256*1024*1024)"
options         "DFLDSIZ=(256*1024*1024)"
options         "FD_SETSIZE=2048"
options         "NMBCLUSTERS=4096"


Is anyone running a similar system.  Or News Server? 

Does Anyone know how to get more information about what is causing the 
machine to reboot?

Thank you.
