next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Due to a bug in the twe driver I've noticed quite a few accesses to the
graid5 consumer that aren't on 512 byte boundaries. These are all 3
identical drives with identical geometries. The unaligned accesses
occur when restoring (dump -0af /usr - | restore -xf - ) as well as when
simply dding to the provider. Although the config below shows the
consumers on the 3rd partition it's reproducable when the consumer is
the entire drive (ad8 for ex, rather than in this case ad8s3, but you'll
see the partition table is set up so the starting offset here is on a
number of common boundaries).
Any thoughts? I can make it happen at will by dd if=/dev/zero
of=/graid5filesystem/tstfile bs=1m count=3000 at least a handful,
probably thousands of times
