Hello,
We have a somewhat busy FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE machine moving mail for our
organizations. It's a dual-700 SMP, with 512 megs/ram, DPT 3334 with two
Seagate 18 gig drives.
It was running well for quite some time (1 to 2 months), but recently has
started crashing every 6 to 24 hours.
Usually when it crashes, it appears that the disks wedge, because a
'systat -vmstat 1' that had been left running in showed > 500 process
waiting for disk; normall, that number is 0 to 15. We've swapped
controllers and other interesting things related to the disks.
The log has the following, usually very close to the point when it
crashes:
lithium:/var/log$ zcat messages.1.gz | grep object
Jul 14 04:06:04 lithium /kernel: object inconsistant state: RPC: 0, RC: 1
Jul 14 04:06:07 lithium /kernel: object inconsistant state: RPC: 0, RC: 1

Jul 14 17:06:05 lithium /kernel: object inconsistant state: RPC: 0, RC: 1
I've searched all of the mailing list in regards to this, anc can find
some questions about, but rarely answers.
I've speculated that it has to do with how full one of our file systems
is. This may sound crazy, but in my non-official measurements, this
happens more often when /var/qmail/mailhome is > 92%.

Does anyone have *any* idea what 'object inconsistent state' means
specifically, and how you correct it? It's hard for me to troubleshoot it
because I don't know what is in the 'inconsistent state'.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Any answers, please cc to
alex@nac.net -- thanks!
