The following reply was made to PR kern/25104; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Mark Handley <mjh@aciri.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, mjh@aciri.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/25104: file corruption with Adaptec 29160 SCSI adapter Date: Thu, 03 May 2001 10:56:14 -0700 OK, the problem isn't a SCSI problem. I just put an ATA100 disk in one of these machines, and removed the SCSI controller card - the problem is just the same - large files get corrupted with about a 1-in-5 probability. So, what's the real problem? Is this a fundamental problem with the VIA 82C686A south bridge? The Register mentions something that sounds similar: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/18267.html But this is with the 686B, not the 686A that the original Asus A7V that my machines have. I suppose it's also possible there's a timing hole in the FreeBSD filesystem code, but this seems unlikely to me. - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
