7.2-RELEASE-p5 and kernel panic with mpt driver
Hi folks. I updated my server from 7.0 to 7.2 over the Christmas period (sources updated to 26th Dec I think). I have long suspected there was an issue with a hard drive in the server but the hosts told me that the useless messages logged by 7.0 were normal. Well it turns out one of the drives failed today and caused the array to keep changing status. This in turn caused about 20 kernel panics in until the hosts pulled the drive and put a new one. I noted someone else talking about this back in May on the FreeBSD-stable list and the outcome seemed to be that a patch was rolled in but it would appear that whatever this patch is - I don't have it! Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: 7.2-RELEASE-p5 and kernel panic with mpt driver
It's a little difficult to tell from the lack of info you've provided, but I'd assume you're running a release to which the patch has not been applied. To do this, you'd need to upgrade to 7-STABLE, 8-RELEASE, or 8-STABLE. CURRENT would work too, but that's not really a candidate for production servers and you should think hard about putting STABLE on one. That being said, STABLE is generally quite stable and I don't have a problem with one in production provided they are reasonably tested before deployment. -- Adam Vande More My supfile uses the tag *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7_2 The docs on stable say to use RELENG_7 for which I assumed was out of date with the docs not always being updated frequently. Is there a different tag for 7.2 Stable or am I not understanding the different versions?

RELENG_7 is stable, RELENG_7_0, RELENG_7_1 and RELENG_7_2 are snapshots of RELENG_7. RELENG_X will always be more current than RELENG_X_Y. Trust the docs unless you explicitly know differently. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
