Occasionaly my system hangs for a few seconds while loading a process
from swap that has been idle for some time. It could be that I'm
actualy out of swap space in these conditions, because I see this frequently
in dmesg output:
swap_pager_getswapspace(8): failed.
But I also see other failures that indicate that there may be a
hardware issue going on:
swap_pager: I/O error - pageout failed; blkno 20114,size 45056, error 0
ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=161663
ad0: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA timed out
Boot message for the device controller is:
atapci0: <VIA 8235 UDMA133 controller> port
0xfc00-0xfc0f,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 17.1 on pci0
ata0: channel #0 on atapci0
ata1: channel #1 on atapci0
And the disk is
ad0: 14648MB <Maxtor 91536U6/VA510PF0> [29762/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66
Is there some issue relating to the configuration that I can repair?
Or am I seeing a real hardware problem?
