I suspected a hd failure or a compromised system. I took off the machine from public network to a private segment and it was running ok for one day. So I suspected a compromised system and I decided to upgrade to 7.0-RELEASE. I followed the guidelines in http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-11-freebsd-major-version-upgrade.html but after first reboot I had this problem : The Promise SuperTrak RAID controller is detected but it does not initialize : it writes this (typed manually, cannot boot) : pst0: <Promise Supertrak RAID on pstpci0> pst0: 1430511MB <PROMISE TECH. I20 RAID DEVICE> [182364/255/63] on pstpci0 pstpci0: [THREAD] pst: timeout mfa=0x002a4dd0 cmd=0x01 pst: timeout mfa=0x002a5070 cmd=0x01 pst: timeout mfa=0x002a5310 cmd=0x01 pst: timeout mfa=0x002a5850 cmd=0x01 pst: timeout mfa=0x002a5af0 cmd=0x01 pst: timeout mfa=0x002a5d90 cmd=0x01 pst: timeout mfa=0x002a6030 cmd=0x01 pst: timeout mfa=0x002a62d0 cmd=0x01 pst: timeout mfa=0x002a6570 cmd=0x01 pst: timeout mfa=0x002a6810 cmd=0x01 pst: timeout mfa=0x002a6ab0 cmd=0x01 etc...etc... and never stops -> boot never finished During system startup the cntroller BIOS starts ok and displays the RAID as functional When I boot the system in "safe mode", the controller is detected and initialised and booting works fine. ----snip ad0: 286168MB <WDC WD3000JB-00KFA0 08.05J08> at ata0-master PIO4 acd0: CDROM <SONY CD-ROM CDU5221/0.30> at ata1-slave PIO4 pst0: <Promise SuperTrak RAID> on pstpci0 pst0: 1430511MB <PROMISE TECH. I2O RAID DEVICE> [182364/255/63] on pstpci0 pstpci0: [ITHREAD] Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a ----snip This is the workaround but I do not want to run a production server in safe mode.(why shouldnt I?) All data is present on the mounted RAID directories when I booted in safe mode also the File Systems are shown as CLEAN in safe mode I rebooted in verbose mode : It added lines like this : pst0: 1430511MB <PROMISE TECH.
