I'm new to this list... I'm running a bioinformatics server using 9.1-RC3 (64 cores, 512GB ram). I have a ZFS raid-z2 array attached to an LSI controller with a SSD cache drive.
Since upgrading to 9.1-RC2/3 (for AVX support), I have been experiencing hard drive lockups with the message "write failed" printed to the console. After this reading from the hard drives no longer work, but the machine is not locked up. If the appropriate files are in the cache, I can log in and execute programs. I know the LSI driver has been updated in 9.1 and I have updated my cards' bios to match. It doesn't seem to make a difference. Once I was able to run top, and saw that many processes were stuck in the 'tx->tx' state. So far, no corruption appears to have occurred in the drives. I'm about to downgrade to 9.0, but I wanted to know if anyone has any idea what the issue is. -- Reed A.
