Hi all, About a year ago, I switched to running the full pfSense 2.0 (beta something at the time) on a Kingston SS100S2/8G embedded SSD.
Since then, every 3 months or so I noticed (in connection with installing a new release) that the filesystem was corrupted, and I have had to format the drive some 3 times in that year! I believe I read somewhere that some of the earlier beta/RC's had filesystem corruption issues, so I guess that *could* be the issue. I have also noticed that the system log occasionally has this line: ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=4892879 (The LBA is fixed ... it only changes if I reformat/reinstall). Apparently I'm not the only one with problems using this drive (as evidenced by the low-feedback scores here. Some are pfSense users): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-139-427 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-139-428 Does anybody have more information about this issue. Is there a problem with the motherboard? Is the drive crap? (Kingston support isn't exactly helpful). Are there known problems with AHCI or NCQ? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
