From: Alexander Motin <m...@freebsd.org> To: bug-follo...@freebsd.org, p...@swarmtv.nl Cc: Subject: Re: amd64/149713: Kernel crashes on HD timeout Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 00:11:00 +0300 I think there is two reasons: 1. Too low request timeout value triggers error too early. Increasing timeout should make it less frequent. It was already done in 7-STABLE branch and above. 2. After timeout triggered, panic probably caused by weak locking in ata(4). You may try to upgrade your system, hoping situation was improved. But I would recommend you to upgrade to 8.1 and build kernel with ATA_CAM option, replacing old ata(4) infrastructure with new and probably more reliable one. -- Alexander Motin _______________________________________________ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-amd64-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
