Subject: Update on data corruption with Tyan/3Ware
Here's an update on my odd problem. Thanks to Don B for some hints
that helped us start looking in a better directions.
System is a Tyan Thunder K8SE motherboard with dual Opteron 250
2.4GHz CPUs and a 3Ware 9550SX-4LP PCI Express four port RAID
controller running in RAID 5. Disks are 4x Seagate 500GB SATA. 4GB
Memory.
Latest BIOS and firmware on mobo and RAID controller.
FreeBSD 6.2 AMD64 with all patches as of 9-21-2007
We've narrowed the problem down to files that are > 4GB. Anytime we
have a file that's > 4GB, we get inconsistent checksums, can't
uncompress it, etc. Files < 4GB are fine.
So is this a RAID controller issue? A filesystem problem? All hints
appreciated.
How are you getting the files on the system? Network transfer? Direct
copy from a disc?
What filesystem is it you're using?
3ware is well supported under Linux, from what I can tell and what I've
experienced, and can't imagine that a manufacturer with a good track
record of driver support for Linux for so long would not support FreeBSD
as well.
