If you're ever bored :) you might want to chew on this one:
System:
P5-150, 512 kB L2 cache, 128 MB EDO RAM, FreeBSD 2.2.1R
2940UW (SCSI ID 7)
- TOSHIBA 5701TA (SCSI ID 4)
- QUANTUM XP34550W (SCSI ID 1)
- CONNER CFP1080S (SCSI ID 0)
2940 (SCSI ID 7)
- OLYMPUS MOS330 (SCSI ID 6)
How to repeat:
run concurrent I/O to XP34450W and MOS330 at the same time.
Symptom:
With heavy disk activity on both the OD and the harddisk,
random lockups occur. Just copying data from OD to harddisk
to (or the reverse) works fine, but the machine freezes solid
after a while if you put more load on the harddisk.
Similar symptoms with all units connected to 2940. Similar
symptoms with 5701TA and/or CFP1080S absent from system.
If you want more details, mail me :)
