Hi all,

I was attempiting to restage a server last night to no avail. It is a =
Dell 860 with a LSI SAS (Dell SAS5/SI) controller.=20

This was happening when I was dumping the filesystems from a USB memory =
stick (da1s1) to the hard drive (Seagate 76 GIG SAS - da0s1).

Can anyone tell me if they have seen this before? or if it is a Hard =
disk problem, or a problem with the SAS controller, or is it a FreeBSD =
problem?

I ahve donwloaded the latest SAS firmware and installed it, ran the Dell =
32 Bit diags,  ran the drive diagnostics, etc etc and everything passes =
with no errors.

I simply cant install dumps, or install a fresh copy of freebsd.

I have snapshots of what the console iis showing, but in a nutshell:

(da0:mpt:0:0:0:0): Synchonize cahce failed, status =3D0x4a, scsi status =
=3D 0x0
(da0:mpt:0:0:0:0): removing device entry
Device /da0s1e went missing before all of the data could be written to =
it, expect data loss

I have snapshots if anyone wants me to send them off list.

Any possible resalutions ?

TIA,

-Grant
