Hi all,
My dedicated server company is deploying me a new FreeBSD 6.2 server. The
box uses SATA drives, and is an AMD Athlon box.
I was getting the following error flooding my dmesg:
ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=*********
so they replaced all the hardware in the box. Still, with entirely
different hardware, I am getting the same error:
ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=106848207
The hard drive in the new box is:
ad4: 76319MB <Seagate ST3808110AS 3.AAD> at ata2-master SATA150
Before I start telling them that this new hardware is also bad, I figured
I would see if there are any known problems/bugs with 6.2, or possibly a
known compatibility issue with SATA (and maybe if I should ask them to
switch to IDE).
Thanks all,
Matt
