Stability of ICH7 sata on FreeBSD 6.1 ?

Mon Aug 7 10:19:23 UTC 2006

Hi all,

We have here some Supermicro Superserver 5015P-TR
(http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5015/SYS-5015P-TR.cfm)

Those servers, with a ICH7 controler, are currently working with FreeBSD
6.1 and everything seems ok, except that it's the third time, on two
different machines, that the system crash because it lost is hard drive.

The logs we get on console during the last crash (ad4s1g is /var, so we
don't have any other logs):
g_vsf_done() :ad4s1g[WRITE(offset=35657547776, length=16384)]error = 6
[...]
g_vsf_done() :ad4s1g[WRITE(offset=35662495744, length=16384)]error = 6
g_vsf_done() :ad4s1g[READ(offset=23900815360, , length=16384)]error = 6
handle_workitem_freeblocks: block count

The logs we have in /var/log/message during another crash :
Jul 26 19:34:07 munster2 kernel: ad6: FAILURE - device detached
Jul 26 19:34:07 munster2 kernel: subdisk6: detached
Jul 26 19:34:07 munster2 kernel: ad6: detached

When the machine crash, the led of the lost DD is fixed on, and a soft
reboot doesn't allow to get the disk back : an electric shutdown is
necessary.

Before the crash, servers had more than 1 mounth of uptime in
production, and others are still ok...

information about the machine :

It's right it was not up to date, but I didn't see cvs commit about that
problem (but maybe I simply miss it)

Does anyone had that problem ? Do you think updating the system from 6.1
sources will be enought ?

I let you dmesg, if it could help... :
