Middelthon" To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: Vinum or hardware fault? Message-ID: <20001214100859.C466@freenix.no> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE X-Warning: So cunning you could brush your teeth with it. Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm using vinum to set up a striped plex with three 9GB scsi disks: da2: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da3: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da4: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device I'm not using soft-updates here. The SCSI controller is integrated on an Asus P2B-DS mainboard: ahc0: port 0xb000-0xb0ff mem 0xe1000000-0xe1000fff irq 10 at device 6.0 on pci0 aic7890/91: Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs da0 and da1 are not using vinum. Other than that the box has got two Pentium III 500MHz CPUs, 512MB of ram and is running FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE. The vinum plex had been running for a week or two, and the activity was reasonably low. But then my server froze and I got these error-messages: Dec 12 12:35:05 enterprise /kernel: ahc0:A:4: parity error detected in Message-in phase. SEQADDR(0x171) SCSIRATE(0x0) (several of these) Dec 12 12:35:05 enterprise /kernel: ahc0: Unexpected busfree in Message-out phase Dec 12 12:35:05 enterprise /kernel: SEQADDR == 0x170 To me this looks like there's something wrong the fifth and last disk (ahc0:A:4). I had to reboot the box, but upon reboot fsck didn't complain about anything out of the ordinary, and I was able remount the vinum plex. Can anyone tell me if this is vinum's or the hardware's fault? -- Morten A.
