Re: named.conf restored to hint zone for the root by default

2007-08-02 Thread Christopher Vance
I've been using a stub root zone for years without a problem.

cvs repo was broken, so cvsup not working right, or something similar
sorry to bother you

Your src/ tree is not up to date, or has been otherwise mangled.
The commit that added KB_CONF_NO_PROBE_TEST touched two files:
Yes.  My cvs repo got mangled.
Either cvsup or the (not-FreeBSD) OS it's hosted on mangled something.
Unfortunately cvsup didn't seem to pick that up, so I don't know if my
cvsup or the mirror it's taken off is at issue.
Now I need to hunt through my repo for other truncated files.  :-(

Re: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA timed out

I don't have any solutions for you, but I'm curious to know what kind of 
drives you're using... apparently SiI 3114s aren't so good with bridged 
(PATA-SATA) connections, and Seagates are mostly native...
My disks are both Seagate ST3200822AS/3.01.
On my setup (SiI3112+Seagate), I get WRITE_DMA timeo's a few times a 
day. Never had panics as result of the SATA tho.
Okay.  I have quiet if I do nothing, and it gets chatty and then dies if I
try to move 10+GB to it from another place.  :-(
I don't even use it very heavily, it's *just* for my .oggs. Nothing 
else. It sucks. We're presently looking at 3Ware and others for a heavy 
duty network setup we're doing... hoping we can make the SiIs work 
instead of dropping a few grand on 3Wares... :\ but I'm not confident 
the SiIs are good for anything important.
The whole point of my machine is NFS and other services.  I don't think
I even installed X.  I don't want RAID or anything extra, just disks that
work.
I saw that the sata_sii driver in the Linux kernel on one of my other
machines said there were quirks using the 3512, but I also see that the
FreeBSD driver also mentions stuff about limiting transfer size.  So
if that were the problem, it's claimed already solved.
So I'm left with deciding what to do with this machine: change OS or pray.

FAILURE - WRITE_DMA timed out

2004-11-30 Thread Christopher Vance
When I use SATA disks heavily on a 5.3-R machine (Athlon) with the
SiI3512 disk controller, I get frequent (sometimes one every 1-5
minutes) WRITE_DMA timed out messages (with different blocks and both
disks).

It also panics with more than one kind of panic, and sometimes doesn't
even get to finish the background fsck from the previous panic before
dying again.

Given that both disks get the WRITE_DMA messages, and the one with the
OS on didn't have any problems when used with a VIA controller in a
different machine, I tend to think it's either the controller or the
software driving it.

Would I have any joy upgrading along 5-STABLE, perhaps after I move
the disk back to the machine that works, or won't that make any
difference?  (As in, are there any relevant ata changes since then?)

I've already tried setting both hw.ata.ata_dma and hw.ata.wc to 0, but
I still get these timeouts.

Please test any USB devices that are critical to you BEFORE we release
4.10 :-)

Would the effort to keep making 4.X releases be better spent making
5.X stable, or are the two efforts not competing for the same
developer resources?

Keeping the code bases closer together will probably make development 
easier, not harder.  Also, this USB code will now be tested on more 
hardware before the release of 4.10 or 5.3.  I wouldn't be surprised if 
someone running -stable on strange hardware finds a bug that needs 
fixing on both -stable and -current.

Seems like a win/win to me.
Okay: that leaves me a happy little vegemite.  :-)
