New em driver - still watchdog timeouts
Hello! Our central backup server is still experiencing the same random problems. The timouts occur every other night or so, when the server has got high CPU load (compressing the backups) and transfers large amounts of data at the same time.

Re: SAS Raid - mfi driver
Because the card itself will deal with the buffered writes independently of the kernel activity the risk should be less than using softupdates. Words like "screwed" seems to me to be exaggerated in the generic case. I our case specific you would need to understand the nature of what we are doing to be able to make a comment like that. For example data is redundant (exists in many copies), consists of very large sequencial files, we have plenty of backup power, and the greatest risk is fbsd locking up/crashing. Anyway our specific case is not of interest here, I just wanted to share our experiences with the LSI MegaSAS with other fbsd users so they understand why they get a severe performance degradation if they try to use such a card w/o a bbu, and what their options are. The generic case of how great the risk really is of corrupting filesystems completely using caches of any kind on the way to secondary storage still is interesting to me, so if you could elaborate here that would be great!

Problem with the installer sysinstall.
Hello, today i have installed FreeBSD-6.2 BETA2 amd-64 on a Core 2 Duo machine with an ASUS P5LD2-VM mobo. I have encountered the following bug from the installer: it wrote an fstab file with all the disk entries on ad4, while the disk is on ad8. Hence when i rebooted, after install, root filesystem could not be found. I had to fiddle at the prompt to get the machine to boot, and then hand edit /etc/fstab. Obviously this would have been a "showstopper" for a newbie. By the way another minor problem is that the audio does not work. According to the mobo manual, it is a Realtek ALC882 audio chip. None of the sound modules have recognized the chip. Sound works under Linux. All in one this has been a wonderful experience, except for sound FreeBSD amd-64 works perfectly on the machine, i had no problem with the em chip, and the machine is incredibly fast. I have also booted the last FREESBIE cdrom, the integrated Intel video works no problem with the i810 driver. Even glxgears is not totally ridiculous, it's around 1000. The 2D performance is perfectly crisp and fine. I am joining the dmesg for reference. -- Michel TALON Copyright (c) 1992-2006 The FreeBSD Project.

Re: SAS Raid - mfi driver
The battery unit should not be considered optional. It's not about performance on silly 'dd' tests, it's about data safety. Way back when, all enterprise RAID cards were sold with an integrated battery because it was the right thing to do.

Re: SAS Raid - mfi driver
Do your performance test on Linux using 32k or 64k i/o blocks, then do it on FreeBSD using the same. You'll seem similar performance between the two. Unless your application is bypassing the filesystem to do raw I/O that is larger than that, you won't see any benefit from the larger i/o sizes that Linux can do.

By the way, you don't necessarily have to have an amd64 machine in order to be able to run FreeBSSD/amd64 and try 64bit software. Qemu supports emulating an amd64 CPU on an i386 system (and vice versa, for that matter). So you can run FreeBSD/amd64 on top of FreeBSD/i386 inside qemu and play with it. Admittedly it will be noticeably slower than running natively, though, because you can't use the qemu accelerator kernel module when emulating a different architecture.

Maybe you were in a hurry, I don't know. Either way, the paragraph doesn't make sense. I call for clarification! ;-) OK OK, so I wasnt at my most lucid :) When I said its bogus what I mean is that the watchdog is designed to detect and correct a certain condition, but what is really happening is NOT THAT condition. The watchdog gets set when there is transmit cleanup work pending, everytime SOME progress is made on cleaning it gets restarted, if you actually clean the WHOLE ring then you turn it off. So the idea is it protects against transmit hangs. So why do I say what we see is bogus... because the watchdog is firing even though we DON'T have tx hangs or descriptor shortages. I have a hack that rechecks the number of free descriptors in the watchdog code and returns without resetting if we have max free. I am still trying to figure out how this can happen in the first place however, I'd rather do something that didnt feel quite as much a hack :) So, is that somewhat clearer?

New em driver breaks jumbo frames
Don't have much time right now, but wanted to report that the new em driver in -STABLE breaks jumbo frame support for me. With it in the kernel and this card: em1: port 0xe8c0-0xe8ff mem 0xfe18-0xfe19 irq 18 at device 12.0 on pci2 I'm unable to send an ethernet frame bigger than 2034 bytes, no matter what the mtu is set to. No errors, no kernel messages, it just doesn't go out. tcpdump on both local and remote side show nothing at all. Reverting to the previous driver fixed it.
