Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > Once in a while kernel panics with following messages: > > biodone: buffer already done > biodone: buffer already done > panic: biodone: buffer not busy I had been experiencing these biodone panics under a similar configuration while performing backups to a SCSI DAT drive. Dima had built some diagnostic kernels to address FIFO overruns in the Adaptec controllers at Best. Since my HBA is a DPT, I put together some diagnostic kernels as well. What I found was that removing 'options QUOTA' from my kernel config has alleviated if not eliminated this problem. I have run over 20 consecutive backups with no failures. Previously, 1 in every 3 would fail with a system crash/silent reboot. Since I wasn't actually using the quotas, it's not a heartbreaker to lose them. I know Dima is running with QUOTA on, but I'm now wondering if some of the others experiencing kern/5117, kern/6102 and kern/7424 aren't running it as well. - Bruce ========================================================== || Bruce M.
