It occurs on all systems after approx. 30 days of light use. I am in the process of generating a LiveCD so that I can use read-only media to address the problem. I have had to remotely walk someone thru a reinstall at least 3 times so far. The idea is that I can dismount and fsck the storage container independently. This should correct my issue, but perhaps mask a larger thing. We have verified both UPS on the unit and placed units into an EMI cage to prevent Power/EMI from being an issue. Yet after approximately 30 days, the entire container requires a single user mode fsck to fix (if you catch it in time). Background fsck will only correct the data partition, but the OS partition is not setup to perform the background fsck. Systems are only running samba (recent change) to provide data storage to the local users. Other then that, nothing else outside of the standard log writes and such change. Seven gateway/nat/fw/dhcp/dns/samba units scattered thru the world. All started life running a vanilla 5.3-STABLE load. Anything I can do to help out or get you more information. I know that there's a summer of code thing out for journaling of UFS, so does that include UFS2? I haven't gotten into the specifics yet.. Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Scott Long [mailto:scottl@samsco.org] Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2005 8:37 PM To: emartinez@crockettint.com Cc: freebsd-fs@freebsd.org Subject: Re: UFS2+Softupdates Corruption Regardless on Seven various systems Edgar Martinez wrote: > All, > > > > I have a network of FBSD boxen running 5.3 w/ 2x PATA WD1200JB Drives and a > Promise Fastrack TX2 controller in mirror.

When and how do you notice the corruption? Does it have a particular pattern? Would it be possible to try a different brand of disk controller in order to rule out the driver being buggy?
