I saw almost the same situation. To recover from the error, I had to power-down the machine, unplug the battery, keep a few minutes, plug the battery and power-up again. I committed the change yesterday. I guess that it fixes kern/55192 and kern/56669. My machine is only 2500 km away, but

Hi, It also might be relevant to note which port you're running. It must be capable of having re and wm interfaces, since you name them, but that still includes a fair bit. I still see no statement which port(s) you're running... Here my brain equated port with ethernet, not with NetBSD

So here's an interesting problem: On NetBSD 8, 9, current, with both ipfilter and with npf, with different kinds of ethernet interfaces (re*, wm*), run pkgsrc/net/darkstat. Pass a lot of traffic (like a week's worth of Internet traffic). Stop darkstat. Machine locks. I've only recently been

I erroneously thought that if pseudo-device crypto wasn't in the kernel, crypto would be done in userland. That's not the case: What makes you think crypto isn't being done in userland? Just a bad guess that the reason for pseudo-device crypto was to do some things in the kernel. The

Re: Horrendous RAIDframe reconstruction performance

Any thoughts about what's going on here? Is this because the drives are 512e drives? Three weeks is a LONG time to reconstruct. So this turns out to be a failing drive. SMART doesn't show it's failing, but the one that's failing defaults to having the write cache off, and turning it on

Parity Re-write is 79% complete. OK, so this is really more about how parity checking works than anything else (i guess.) for RAID1, it reads both disks and compares them, and if one fails it will write the master data. (more generally, it reads all disks and if anything fails parity check it

If the state of the RAID is not being maintained, then that's a bug, and needs to be fixed right away. To my knowledge, however, it does maintain things correctly. Feel free to file a PR with the specifics of any failures in this regard... I will test this via a clean install and create a PR
