Back in May, I posted about issues I was having with a Dell PE R630 with
4x800GB NVMe SSDs. I would get kernel panics due to the inability to assign all
the interrupts because of
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199321
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199321>. Jim Harris helped
fix this issue so I bought several more of these servers, Including ones with
4x1.6TB drives…
while the new servers with 4x800GB drives still work, the ones with 4x1.6TB
drives do not. When I do a
zpool create tank mirror nvd0 nvd1 mirror nvd2 nvd3
the command never returns and the kernel logs:
nvme0: resetting controller
nvme0: controller ready did not become 0 within 2000 ms
I’ve tried several different things trying to understand where the actual
problem is.
WORKS: dd if=/dev/nvd0 of=/dev/null bs=1m
WORKS: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvd0 bs=1m
WORKS: newfs /dev/nvd0
FAILS: zpool create tank mirror nvd[01]
FAILS: gpart add -t freebsd-zfs nvd[01] && zpool create tank mirror nvd[01]p1
FAILS: gpart add -t freebsd-zfs -s 1400g nvd[01[ && zpool create tank nvd[01]p1
WORKS: gpart add -t freebsd-zfs -s 800g nvd[01] && zpool create tank nvd[01]p1
NOTE: The above commands are more about getting the point across, not validity.
I wiped the disk clean between gpart attempts and used GPT.
So it seems like zpool works if I don’t cross past ~800GB. But other things
like dd and newfs work.
When I get the kernel messages about the controller resetting and then not
responding, the NVMe subsystem hangs entirely. Since my boot disks are not
NVMe, the system continues to work but no more NVMe stuff can be done. Further,
attempting to reboot hangs and I have to do a power cycle.
Any thoughts on what the deal may be here?
