Hello all, I run a few OpenBSD guests under Linux KVM in various VPS providers without problems. Recently I started getting messages like this:
wd0(pciide0:0:0): timeout type: ata c_bcount: 2048 c_skip: 0 pciide0:0:0: bus-master DMA error: missing interrupt, status=0x21 wd0f: device timeout writing fsbn 6592 of 6592-6595 (wd0 bn 9966880; cn 620 tn 104 sn 28), retrying wd0: soft error (corrected) on one VPS running 5.2-STABLE/amd64. Now, I get 1-2 of these messages per week; always 'soft error (corrected)' though. I haven't seen DMA errors like that for about 10 years now - since the days of crappy promise IDE controllers and faulty IDE cables. I'm guessing vioblk(4) should eliminate such problems. Should I do something about it till then, though? -- Manolis Tzanidakis http://mtzanidakis.com/ mtzanidakis[at]gmail[dot]com
