FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE, p4 xeon system, adaptec 2820sa SATA raid controller with all 8 disks in use.
Two arrays are present - a mirror to boot from, and a 6-disk raid6 array of size 1.8TB. I am aware that there are problems with quotas in 6.1, but I am successfully using them with 6.0-RELEASE and an adaptec 1610sa. I figured it couldn't be any worse... ----- After loading, the system frequently (multi-daily) crashed with the error: Warning! Controller is no longer running! code=0xbcef0100 (after a page or so of aac0 timeout messages) So I disabled quotas on the system, and it has been completely stable ever since. ----- Does anyone understand the mechanism wherein the 6.1 quota problems could cause a raid controller kernel to crash ? Is that possible ? (it seems to be) Are there workaround for the 6.1 quota problems, as in "they don't work, but if you sysctl this and set this, they will" ? How close are we to working quota code on 6.1, and will I be able to just patch some files in /usr/src and recompile my kernel, or will it require a full rebuild of the OS ? Thanks. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
