I upgraded a machine from 4.7-STABLE to 4.8-RELEASE-p22 a couple of weeks ago. It has now stopped responding to anything other than ICMP requests twice. The previous uptime was over 80 days. There is a web log rotate script which runs at approximately that same time. The error message on the console is (hand transcribed and third hand): asr0: Blink LED 0x7 resetting adapter The web log rotate script does this a few times for various values of httpd-access.log before issuing an apachectl restart: gunzip /var/log/httpd-access.log.0.gz cat /var/log/httpd-access.log >>/var/log/httpd-access.log.0 gzip /var/log/httpd-access.log.0 rm /var/log/httpd-access.log touch /var/log/httpd-access.log ( Yes, I realize how inefficient and bad that script is. It seems designed to abuse the disk subsystem. It was written before I inherited the system and I hadn't actually looked at the script before tonight. ) I found a question about a similar message, s/0x7/0x3/, on a 2400S in the FreeBSD-questions archives on July 2, 2003. I don't see any follow-ups to that message. There is also an older three message thread all from the same poster from October 14 and 16, 2002, about the 0x3 message on a 2100S saying that it had apparently been cured by replacing the cache memory module on the controller. So, it seems likely that I am suffering a hardware failure. However, beginning so soon after the upgrade of the OS and the error number being slightly different scare me that it could be caused by a change to the asr driver. I decided to post this message tonight, just in case, and talk to Adaptec tomorrow. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@lambertfam.org
