Re: Dell SAS5/IR
Hi all, I was attempiting to restage a server last night to no avail. It is a Dell 860 with a LSI SAS (Dell SAS5/SI) controller. This was happening when I was dumping the filesystems from a USB memory stick (da1s1) to the hard drive (Seagate 76 GIG SAS - da0s1). Can anyone tell me if they have seen this before? or if it is a Hard disk problem, or a problem with the SAS controller, or is it a FreeBSD problem? I ahve donwloaded the latest SAS firmware and installed it, ran the Dell 32 Bit diags, ran the drive diagnostics, etc etc and everything passes with no errors. I simply cant install dumps, or install a fresh copy of freebsd. I have snapshots of what the console iis showing, but in a nutshell: (da0:mpt:0:0:0:0): Synchonize cahce failed, status =0x4a, scsi status = 0x0 (da0:mpt:0:0:0:0): removing device entry Device /da0s1e went missing before all of the data could be written to it, expect data loss I have snapshots if anyone wants me to send them off list. Any possible resalutions ? The way I read your problem is that you are dumping a slice with partitions to another slice correct? I don't think that works, dump(1) works on the filesystem level, so a partition by partition dump and restore is needed. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org Adam, Sorry I should have been clearer in my original post. I had made dumps from one machine from each individual file system /(dev/da0s1a) /var(dev/da0s1d) /usr(/dev/da0s1e) /home(/dev/da0s1f) Then, on a different machine, was dumping them using the LIVE FS CD boot disk, to it's primary drive that was pre fdisk'd and the filesystems created. The root, var filesystem restored fine, but, as I said, the usr filesystem keep crapping out with the errors mentioned. I even get the same error when trying to actually install freebsd from CD, from scratch. Yesterday, I ran every diagnostic available to the system (Dell 32 Bit Diags, on board controller diags, etc) and they all passed with no errors. I have seen some scuttlebutt white googling, about the SAS5/IR buuffer problems, but have not seen a resolution yet. -Grant ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I looked some more and it looks like that issue can also be caused by a faulty drive, maybe even a bad cable.

I will be going to the data center later, and was planning on opening it up and seeing if we might have a loose connection -Grant ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
