Hi,
I've done some strange(?) experiments and I managed to get a panic of type "baddir" and just now another one that only rebooted my system instantly without writing a vmcore. I don't know if this is important. I could not find any information on how gvinum detects failed hard disks. That's why I tried something really simple. Steps to reproduce: 1) dd if=/dev/zero of=a bs=1024 count=256000 dd if=/dev/zero of=b bs=1024 count=256000 dd if=/dev/zero of=c bs=1024 count=256000 2) mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 0 -f a mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 1 -f b mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 2 -f c 3) gvinum create raid5.conf with raid5.conf: drive a device /dev/md0 drive b device /dev/md1 drive c device /dev/md2 volume raid5 plex org raid5 491k sd length 0 drive a sd length 0 drive b sd length 0 drive c 4) newfs -m 0 /dev/raid5 5) mount /dev/gvinum/raid5 /mnt/ mkdir /mnt/aaa 6) dd if=/dev/zero of=c bs=1024 count=256000 7) cd /mnt/aaa touch a 8) Repeat the steps 6) and 7) if it does not panic at this point. -- Martin _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
