Unstable File Server

The adaptec card is the only one not giving issues. Besides its a real
hardware raid card, cost me more alone than the entire pc!

 

It's all the onboard controllers that the issues are coming from.

 

According to FreeBSD

 

tapci0 at pci0:0:15:0:    class=0x010400 card=0x71041462 chip=0x31491106
rev=0x80 hdr=0x00

    vendor     = 'VIA Technologies Inc'

    device     = 'VT8237  VT6410 SATA RAID Controller'

    class      = mass storage

    subclass   = RAID

 

    vendor     = 'VIA Technologies Inc'

    device     = 'VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C Bus Master IDE
Controller'

    class      = mass storage

    subclass   = ATA

 

 

aac0 at pci0:0:6:0:        class=0x010400 card=0x029d9005 chip=0x02869005
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00

    vendor     = 'Adaptec Inc'

    device     = 'AAC-RAID (Rocket)'

    class      = mass storage

    subclass   = RAID

 

I have the following adapters, the first two are onboard and I seem to have
issues with certain drives on them.

 

The adaptec has two drives setup as a single volume and ive never had a
single issue with it.

 

Thank You.

Device ad2 is an IDE device and is on same cable as DVDROM however the Drive
itself is master.

I replaced ad2 with an old 20Gb and it behaved itself however other devices
still giving hassels..

(Ad2 is in a removable bay), so same cables etc.

 

 

Thank You kindly for assistance so far!

 


Without looking at your adaptec card to see if it has a Silicon Image RAID
chip, usually marked as an SIL#### on the chip I can't say for sure but SIL
RAID chips do cause DMA issues.  I had a 2 channel Adaptec card that used a
SIL chip and it wouldn't work well with FreeBSD.  I got similar errors that
you are seeing.  Unfortunately with the SIL RAID chips some versions of the
same chip (they don't change chip versions with all chip changes) will work
with FreeBSD.

I would say your problem is either the RAID card or the drive(s).  I would
try diagnostics on the drives from the manufacturer's websites.  If the
drives pass these tests I would replace the RAID card since you already
tried new cables.

If you see in forum I had replaced all cables with brand new ones, upgraded
the PSU three times, and even tried multiple PCI controllers. The only place
I have not picked up issues yet is with the aacd array, almost everything
else has been giving issues on and off, however only under heavy data
transfer.

The drive im receiving the most issues from is also brand new and worked
perfectly under windows.
The 250gb Maxtor drive also works without hassels under windows.

I have also recently replaced the DVD rom because for no apparent reason it
started giving issues aswell.
(Even though it wasn't in use or even mounted)

I havant had issues with small drives, the boot drive has never reported any
form of errors and I replaced the Maxtor 250 with an old 20gb Seagate to
test and that worked flawlessly aswell.


I have no idea anymore of what to do.


What RAID card are you using?  Or is it built into the motherboard, in which
case what RAID chip is in use?

Is the older 20gb drive using the same drive interface?

Have you tried swapping out the drive cables with new/UDMA133 ones.  Every
time I think
I've found a problem w/FBSD disk handling it ends up being the cables :)
