Hi--

I've had the following problems...
we're currently running with 3x18 GB 10k Segate drives and an Asus p2b-ds 
<http://www.asus.com/products/motherboard/pentiumpro/p2b-ds/spec.html>; with 
onboard scsi card.  The drives are divided into 3 partitions /usr /var / 
and a RAID 5 of 26 GB.

I was able to recover by just doing vinum start on the stale drive, but it 
brought the system down, and i need to make sure this doesn't happen again. 
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this a CAM or vinum problem? or should 
I look to hardware.  Here's the standard list.


What problems are you having?
Using lftp, I was in the midst of ftping a 50 MB or so file to the raid 
directly.  After about 5% was done, the entire box froze.  As it is remote, 
I don't know if the drives were accessing, but all open ssh sessions just 
stopped, i could ping and nmap the box, but when I tried to initiate an 
ssh, they would just open, and sit there.  I've previously been able to 
copy a couple of hundred MB back and forth, with seemingly no problems. 
That was a few days ago.

Which version of FreeBSD are you running?
> uname -r
3.4-STABLE

Have you made any changes to the system sources, including Vinum?
No, everything is unchanged.
