Harddisks DMA errors
Hello, After having problems with DMA errors on my old PATA 200GB disks because of a faulty harddisk, I switched to SATA 500GB disks. I used fdisk to create slices and newfs them, then copied everything using dump & restore to my new harddisks. Now I have problems running into the next error for both my harddiscs: ad4: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=268435454 ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET RCHACHE MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET WCHACHE MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad4: WARNING - SET_MULTI taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad4: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (0 retries left) LBA=268435454 ad4: FAILURE = READ_DMA status=ff error = ff < ICRC ,UNCORRECTABLE ,MEDIA_CHANGED ,NID_NOT_FOUND,MEDIA_CHANGE_REQUEST,ABORTED,NO_MEDIA,ILLEGAL_LENGTH> LBA=268435454 I am able to reproduce this error at will if I issue the following command: # dd if=/dev/ad4 of=/dev/null bs=1024 What surprises me is that it the following information is provided by dd: dd: /dev/ad4: Input/output error 134217727+0 records in 134217727+0 records out 137438952448 bytes transferred in 9732.012957 secs (14122356 bytes/sec) This number of _bytes transfered_ looks an awful lot like 137 GB which normal LBA can handle. And it probably isn't coincidence that "normal" LBA can only handle 268435455 locations. Large LBA should work better I suppose. Problem is that I have used fdisk to newfs and slice my disk and they were fully accessible then. My Promise SATA300 TX2Plus does have support for LargeLBA so there again it should work. I'm quite sure the disks aren't faulty because I get the problem on both disks and the errors are exactly the same. I'm not sure what the SETFEATURE error has to do with this all, maybe someone can explain. So it ends up in two questions: 1. How do I get those drives working? 2. If it is of relevance what does that SETFEATURES warning mean? Anyone that can help me? -- Guido Please reply to this address, because the address that was subscribed doesn't work now because if this server failure. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Security Patches using freebsd-update(8)
I'm really glad the FreeBSD team brought freebsd-update(8) in the base system. Now I can do my security patches with much less hassle. But i have one question about this great tool. When do I have to reboot? I know that most of the time you just restart a daemon and your finished. But with the security patches I'm not sure when it is a kernel module or just a daemon that I updated, so even if it is a daemon I don't know which one to restart. I cannot find any information on the web about this. So can anyone tell me how I can figure out if I have to reboot my machine.

The first thing I'd like to know is if my box can indeed handle the upgrade to 6.2 - I have the following hardware- PIII 500mhz 256 ram 8 gig hard-drive The ONLY thing I use this box for is to filter mail that then gets passed to my exchange server- Are there any gotcha's I need to lookout for before attempting this upgrade, since this filters my e-mail if I screw up- I will have no incoming mail- lest I choose to redirect my SMTP directly to my mail server- NOT A GOOD IDEA.

ntpd crashes every once in a while
Hello, ntpd crashes every once in a while, sometimes with days in between sometimes within a few hours. And the error I see in my /var/log/messages is: Jan 12 14:21:34 rottnic kernel: pid 516 (ntpd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) My server is in the pool of pool.ntp.org and there is mentioned that I might have to raise my ulimit, but as shown below it is already unlimited as far as I can see. rottnic# csh rottnic# limit cputime unlimited filesize unlimited datasize 524288 kbytes stacksize65536 kbytes coredumpsize unlimited memoryuseunlimited vmemoryuse unlimited descriptors 3463 memorylocked unlimited maxproc 1731 sbsize unlimited rottnic# sh rottnic# ulimit unlimited uname -a FreeBSD rottnic.nl 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Wed Mar 8 19:48:39 CET 2006 rottweilertje@:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/ ROTTKERNELv3 i386 I added this to my kernel: options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10 options IPDIVERT options IPSEC options IPSEC_ESP options DUMMYNET options QUOTA # Wireless AP support wlan_wep# 802.11 WEP support wlan_ccmp # 802.11 CCMP support wlan_tkip # 802.11 TKIP support wlan_xauth # 802.11 external authenticator support wlan_acl# 802.11 MAC ACL support Thanks in advance, Guido ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
strange behavior webpages
Hello, I have a very strange problem with my served webpages. When I open the webpages from my server with my ibook, while connected to my wireless network, everything goes fine. But when I refresh a website or when Safari is not grabbing it from its cache the page returns corrupted. The page shown is a bunch of random characters. After each refresh the stream of charachters is changed. On my PC the page is still corrupted, but with a refresh the characters are still the same. When I open a terminal screen on my server and look at the file this happens: %less data/www/networkstats.html "data/www/networkstats.html" may be a binary file. See it anyway? and %file data/www/networkstats.html data/www/networkstats.html: data After some time (about a day or so) the file gets back to its normal state, being a html file and it is served well again. I thougth it would be a problem of my ibook, but when I connect to the website while using my wired network the problem does not occur. Also not when I am connected to a wireless network other than my own. Webpages served from my secure webserver don't get messed up, also dynamic pages (CGI/PHP) don't get messed up exept for the images that are on those pages. For my wireless connection I use a wireless PCI card (Netgear MA311 with latest firmware) on the serverside and the airport extreme from my ibook G4. The connection is WEP encrypted by standard FreeBSD modules. I already tried to use a different version of apache (currenty using apache-2.0.55_4), but it didn't fix the problem. I tried finding a useful error or things in my logfiles but I can't find anything. I suspect some of the drivers for my wireless device (wi) to corrupt the files, problem is that even if I chmod 000 a file it still gets corrupted. I use: FreeBSD 6.0 apache-2.0.55_4 some dmesg output: FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Wed Mar 8 19:48:39 CET 2006 CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz (2668.41-MHz 686-class CPU) wi0: mem 0xfafff000-0xfaff irq 21 at device 10.0 on pci1 wi0: [GIANT-LOCKED] wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.1), Station (1.8.4) Can anyone help me on this, or does anybody has some kind of the same problems? cheers Guido Demmenie ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
