Hello everybody.
What's the latest word on BP6 stability under linux? I've been doing
testing for the last several hours... trying to find a stable
configuration. Likely I have an easily reproducible test case that I can
try each time I change something.
My test case consists of using dump/restore to copy from one filesystem to
another. The source filesystem is on ide3 and the destination is on ide4.
I'm using a 2.4.0-test11 kernel which prints an error message (APIC error
on CPUX) when the badness occurs. DMA is enabled on all disks.
It seems clear that the problem has something to do w/ a combination of
the following:
SMP
DMA on HPT366 controller
IRQ sharing
I'm hoping to find a solution. I'd hate to turn of DMA mode. It makes an
enormous difference in disk operation performance.
