You may recall that I posted about a "deferred hardware error"
from a Quantum 1080S disk during the 2.0.5 alpha cycle. Also, I have
had problems with the machine becoming unresponsive after several
minutes of heavy Web serving (which included CGI processing).
Today over lunch, I decided to use the Apache server instead of
NCSA. It was able to handle the load far better than NCSA (with a
load average of 5.0 vs. 30+) and it ran quite happily for a couple of
hours. I had stepped away from the console to start a tape backup and
when I returned, the machine was sitting at the xdm login. Checking
syslog messages:
Jun 16 13:07:49 aries /kernel: vnode_pager_input: I/O read error
Jun 16 13:07:57 aries /kernel: vm_fault: pager input (probably hardware) error, PID 17221 failure
Fortunately, nothing was lost on disk (just warnings about dirty
superblocks) and FreeBSD was able to complete the boot cycle and bring
up all network services. Should I get the dealer to replace this
drive before it completely fails? This is the second time I've seen a
disk-related hardware error logged.
