My understanding is that the locks (and pieces of kernel code) involved are different. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I am can comment. Thanks for the suggestion... Olivier On Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 4:07 PM, Reed A. Cartwright wrote: > I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I deadlock

Dear All It turns out that reverting to an older version of the mps driver did not fix the ZFS hangs I've been struggling with in 9.1 and 9-STABLE after all (they just took a bit longer to occur again, possibly just by chance). I followed steps along lines suggested by Andriy to collect more inform

I have also down graded to the MPS driver from 9.0. We've been running the server pretty heavily since then and no lockups have occurred since. It has been about a week. On Thu, Dec 13, 2012 at 11:14 PM, olivier wrote: > For what it's worth, I think I might have solved my problem by reverting t

This doesn't quite make sense. In your original email, you said that you're using a mpt-based Fibre Channel card and have a ZFS filesystem on top of that. If that's the case, why would going back to an older version of the mps(4) driver change things at all? It has no support for that hardware.

For what it's worth, I think I might have solved my problem by reverting to an older version of the mps driver. I checked out a recent version of 9-STABLE and reversed the changes in http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=230592 (perhaps there was a simpler way of reverting to the ol

Thanks. I'll be sure to follow your suggestions next time this happens. I have a naive question/suggestion though. I see from browsing past discussions on ZFS problems that it has been suggested a number of times that problems that appear to originate in ZFS in fact come from lower layers; in part
