Also the NIC is LOM version so I guess there is no easy way to change the interrupt number. ATM polling(4) seems to be the only way to reliably run nfe(4) under shared interrupt situations. Of course, you may encounter additional latency from the polling(4) but it normally wouldn't affect desktop usage patterns. I have a plan that will add an additional knob that have nfe(4) work more reliably under shared interrupt environments.

Hmm, I haven't tried with megacli, but an internal tool at work is able to start manual patrol reads w/o causing a crash, and I've also seen production boxes running automatic patrol reads w/o causing crashes.

No, the value is a pointer to the in-kernel command structure. FWIW, I've seen this message with MegaCli with other commands (like removing a volume), so this may have to do with our support for MegaCli. In the case of -LdDelete though, I didn't see an OS crash. However, I've only seen that during testing and would reboot the box once it went south (I also wasn't using any mfi(4) volumes for the base system at the time). -- John Baldwin From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Oct 1 21:25:43 2007 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A713016A419 for ; Mon, 1 Oct 2007 21:25:43 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from smcafee@collaborativefusion.com) Received: from mx00.pub.collaborativefusion.com (mx00.pub.collaborativefusion.com [206.210.89.199]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 76CD013C448 for ; Mon, 1 Oct 2007 21:25:43 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from smcafee@collaborativefusion.com) Received: from [192.168.2.72] (icepick.pitbpa0.priv.collaborativefusion.com [192.168.2.72]) (AUTH: LOGIN smcafee, SSL: TLSv1/SSLv3,256bits,AES256-SHA) by wingspan with esmtp; Mon, 01 Oct 2007 17:25:42 -0400 id 00056454.470165D6.00017953 Message-ID: <47016605.1000003@collaborativefusion.com> Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2007 17:26:29 -0400 From: Sean McAfee User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 (X11/20070810) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org References: <46FD6E94.2080608@collaborativefusion.com> <200710011655.40514.jhb@freebsd.org> In-Reply-To: <200710011655.40514.jhb@freebsd.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: Subject: Re: PERC5 (LSI MegaSAS) Patrol Read crashes X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2007 21:25:43 -0000 John Baldwin wrote: > On Saturday 29 September 2007 09:18:17 pm Benjie Chen wrote: > > Hmm, I haven't tried with megacli, but an internal tool at work is able to > start manual patrol reads w/o causing a crash, and I've also seen production > boxes running automatic patrol reads w/o causing crashes. Do you have to > have a certain load before it will crash? The crashes that we've seen in production have occurred while patrol reads kick off under moderate-high load, but in testing, an automatic read will complete fine. Even with maxed-out I/O*, we haven't been able to come up with reliable testing scenario to trigger crashes on automatic patrol reads. (*My base testing scenario involved running a pretty heavy stress [as in the program available in ports], while repeatedly copying ports & src from an NFS mount to another local mountpoint and SCPing a large file in a loop from another machine.)

I had similar requirements when building my latest box. I installed 6.2 and am now running 7.0-Current on a S3000AHLX: http://www.intel.com/design/servers/boards/s3000ah/index.htm Built around the Intel 3000 chipset. 64-bit FreeBSD (amd64) works fine, but I use 32-bit. It is very stable, and a good choice for a headless machine. - 4 SATA II channels. Although I installed from a SATA DVD drive, it doesn't work under 7.0-CURRENT - 2xGigabit ethernet - No sound, I use a USB audio card and it works great! - Quadcore CPU support (I'm using a dualcore) - Onboard video is kinda poor, and you can only use PCI and PCIe x1 graphics cards I'm very happy with it, despite having to get an obscure video card to support my monitor. The only thing I haven't gotten working at all is SMBUS, but I haven't tried very hard. - Mark C.

There is also an onboard wireless NIC, but no driver for that currently under FreeBSD. -- Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Oct 3 00:32:05 2007 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1380716A418; Wed, 3 Oct 2007 00:32:05 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from amdmi3@amdmi3.ru) Received: from cp65.agava.net (cp65.agava.net [89.108.66.215]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C151413C448; Wed, 3 Oct 2007 00:32:04 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from amdmi3@amdmi3.ru) Received: from [213.148.20.85] (helo=nexii.panopticon) by cp65.agava.net with esmtpsa (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.44 (FreeBSD)) id 1Ics9i-000JeJ-Gr; Wed, 03 Oct 2007 04:32:02 +0400 Received: from hades.panopticon (hades.panopticon [192.168.0.2]) by nexii.panopticon (Postfix) with ESMTP id BE93A1703E; Wed, 3 Oct 2007 04:33:22 +0400 (MSD) Received: by hades.panopticon (Postfix, from userid 1000) id CF93640C7; Wed, 3 Oct 2007 04:33:29 +0400 (MSD) Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2007 04:33:29 +0400 From: Dmitry Marakasov To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org, freebsd-current@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20071003003329.GA78359@hades.panopticon> Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org, freebsd-current@freebsd.org References: <20071002164246.GA986@hades.panopticon> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20071002164246.GA986@hades.panopticon> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.16 (2007-06-09) X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report X-AntiAbuse: Primary Hostname - cp65.agava.net X-AntiAbuse: Original Domain - freebsd.org X-AntiAbuse: Originator/Caller UID/GID - [0 0] / [26 6] X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain - amdmi3.ru X-Source: X-Source-Args: X-Source-Dir: Cc: Subject: Re: Need motherboard for home fileserver X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 03 Oct 2007 00:32:05 -0000 * Dmitry Marakasov (amdmi3@amdmi3.ru) wrote: Thanks for you replies so far. Now after some digging I understand a bit what I actually need. Well, I hoped to get a SocketAM2 board for AthlonX2, as it is 30-40% cheaper than Core2Duo with similar performance, but most of AM2 motherboards use nForce chipset, which is unsupported by CURRENT. The only solution I've found is M2N32-SLI (thanks Craig), but I'll need to buy video card and Intel Gbit NIC. Though Core 2 Duo CPUs are more expensive, choice of motherboards is much wider, and they are generally cheaper than M2N32-SLI, so price of AMD/Intel platforms is nearly equal. I've found some MB's with integrated video and Intel ethernet: ASUS P5B-VM DO, Intel DG33BUC, Intel DG33FBC. I think I'll buy one of those, but just to be sure, are those statements right: - Marvell/NVidia NICs suck, and I am right that I definitely need Intel. (what about RealTec, btw?) - ICH8DO should work as well as ICH8 and G33 should work as well as G965 (didn't find menton of ICH8DO in src/sys/dev/ata/ata-chipset.c) - ADI*/Realtec(ALC*)/Sigmatel(STAC*) HDA CODECs provide more or less equal sound quality. And it can be considered `good' to non-audiophiles. -- Best regards, Dmitry Marakasov mailto:amdmi3@amdmi3.ru From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Oct 3 09:34:17 2007 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8DD6416A41B for ; Wed, 3 Oct 2007 09:34:17 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from stefan.lambrev@moneybookers.com) Received: from blah.sun-fish.com (blah.sun-fish.com [217.18.249.150]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 51FC213C48E for ; Wed, 3 Oct 2007 09:34:17 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from stefan.lambrev@moneybookers.com) Received: by blah.sun-fish.com (Postfix, from userid 1002) id 225351B10ED2; Wed, 3 Oct 2007 11:15:49 +0200 (CEST) X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.3 (2007-08-08) on blah.cmotd.com X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-4.4 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.2.3 Received: from [10.1.1.3] (unknown [192.168.25.6]) by blah.sun-fish.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id B56181B10F09; Wed, 3 Oct 2007 11:15:45 +0200 (CEST) Message-ID: <47035DBD.60202@moneybookers.com> Date: Wed, 03 Oct 2007 12:15:41 +0300 From: Stefan Lambrev User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 (Windows/20070728) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Michael Fuckner References: <20071002164246.GA986@hades.panopticon> <470280BD.9030109@fuckner.net> In-Reply-To: <470280BD.9030109@fuckner.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=KOI8-R; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV 0.91.2/4460/Wed Oct 3 08:57:50 2007 on blah.cmotd.com X-Virus-Status: Clean Cc: freebsd-current@freebsd.org, freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Need motherboard for home fileserver X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 03 Oct 2007 09:34:17 -0000 Hi, Michael Fuckner wrote: >> Requirements: >> - 4 SATA II channels >> > CURRENT now suuports Intel ICH9.
