We've been doing more work with VMware and FreeBSD lately. Overall it's
been going well, but we have a machine that's giving me grief, and I'm a
bit concerned.
It's running 4.8-Release, with a single virtual SCSI drive. It's been
running fine for months, but as of recently, it's started locking up. When
it locks up, this is what's in the messages:
/kernel: (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xca993340 - timed out
/kernel: bt0: btdone - Attempt to free non-active BCCB 0xca9933c0
This is the scsi card it sees (from vmware)
/kernel: bt0: <Buslogic Multi-Master SCSI Host Adapter> port 0x1060-0x107f
mem 0xfd000000-0xfd00001f irq 9
The host machine is running Windows 2003 Server, on an SMP Xeon host. The
virtual machine's I/O is pretty minor, and it doesn't hit the cpu/etc much
either. Pretty lightweight install.
Any thoughts on the situation would be appreciated.
