Description

Hi,

I just rsynced my harddisk to a DragonFly box. After that, the box became more and more unusable (at first I could still
ping and ssh into it, then after a few seconds this also didn't worked anymore). It's a pretty "old" DragonFly I am using,
so probably I should compile a more recent kernel and the problem goes away. But maybe it's something worse, so I'll better
report it...

Regards,

Michael

These are a known problem with the FreeBSD ATA layer. No one's been
able to figure out what the true cause is, but sometimes they can
indicate disk errors if the LBA shown is consistent (in your case, it
looks like it may be).

Prior to my recent departure from the FreeBSD Project, I documented this
common problem. And no, there is no fix for it; it requires a large
amount of time and money (replacing hardware) to troubleshoot.

Put kern.intr_mpsafe="0" in loader.conf, if you don't plan to upgrade
immediately. Your source tree may be checkd out between the time I
turned on kern.intr_mpsafe and the time I turned off INTR_MPSAFE in
nata.

Too strange that after a reboot or reset, the disk was completely missing.
There was no ad4 (or ar0) any more. It appeared again, after powering down
the box completely.

Thanks! I'll take a close look if this kind of problems appear again.

Michael

Check that all the fans are working and the disk hasn't overheated, too.
    One thing that a big rdist might do is exercise the cpu and disk enough
    to overheat the system if it was not otherwise well fanned.
