Re: Multiple handle_workitem_freeblocks calls, then a panic
On Thu, Jun 09, 2005 at 23:50:47 EDT, Kris Kennaway scribbled these curious markings: Could be..do a backup just in case. Also try the smartmontools port to see if the HD has recorded any defects. I've retrieved all important data from the disk, and running smartctl's extended test on both disks reports no errors. Nor do the disks have any errors logged, and the boot-up SMART check also states both disks as okay. In order to begin to diagnose the panic you need to obtain the information described in the developers handbook chapter on kernel debugging. I've got a debug kernel running now, and will attempt a buildworld again. Thanks for the response; I'll be sure to report everything I find with any (hopefully nonexistent :) future panics.

Multiple handle_workitem_freeblocks calls, then a panic
I've seen the string handle_workitem_freeblocks coming up in the bright white of kernel syslog messages on my desktop's console for a while in periods of large disk IO. Now, while I was doing a -j4 buildworld on my system and trying to access a different disk, the system started printing a lot of these messages. The kernel then panic'd and rebooted. This transpired before I even realised what was happening, so I couldn't get the exact panic string. The only thing on my mind right now, which has me quite worried, is whether my disks are dying. Can anyone please shed some light on this? I'll try to provide any other information requested, but the system is turned off for now. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
