Hello, I am having a very strange problem. I read earlier about somebody having Solaris do a core dump, but that's not happening here. Here are the computer specs:
SunOS cartman 5.11 snv_79a i86pc i386 i86pc CPU: 2 x 4 core Xeon Memory: 16gb Motherboard: Supermicro X7DWN+ SATA card: Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 64-bit PCI-X133MHz SATA Controller Card 2 mirrored 250gb drives for boot, 6 1tb drives for raidz2. Boot drives and 2 1tb drives on motherboard bus, other 4 1tb drives on the SATA card. And here's what happened dd if=/dev/zero bs=20480 of=/export/home/admin count=1048576 And in another terminal session, I ran: iostat 1 At first, everything ran fine. But at about 14gb into the write, suddenly the traffic on all SATA busses went to 0. I tried executing a command and it stopped responding. Then I ctrl-c'd out of iostat and tried to type reboot but nothing happened. Basically anything that caused the system to try to do an SATA I/O read would block. I looked at the console and there were no visible errors. I finally had to hard reboot the machine. Of course no crash dump since it didn't technically crash. Any thoughts on what causes this and how I could remedy it? Thanks! Ray This message posted from opensolaris.org
