Whoops, I actually ran the command verbatim and then tried it without the trailing part in case the package had been updated and I might be able to get it via a "meta package". Basically a shot in the dark that didn't work. That cut/paste was from the last thing I tried...
I switched back over to the sil3124 based cards and was able to get it working pretty solid. The way I can "re-create" the issue is by creating a RAID 5 set with the 3 1Tb WD drives and copying data from a 500gb external drive over to it. A few hundred megs into the copy, the console starts spewing the above messages and after a few mins the transfer stalls when XFS deactivates the filesystem (rightfully so it seems). I can actually run a bonnie++ and it won't trigger the bug, but the big copy of files will do it every time. It could take longer because the 1Tb drives are actually 5400 RPM and somewhat slow. I pulled the 3114 cards and replaced them with the two 3124 cards. I hooked the three WD drives up and MD recognized them by UUID on boot. It actually did and XFS repair and mounted the volume back up after the boot, but I didnt' trust it. I did a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=100" to wipe the start of the md block device and did a "mkfs -t xfs /dev/md0" to re-build the filesystem. I was able to copy the entire 480 gig from the external over to the new 1.9Tb volume. I was also seeing errors relating to the swap partition that happens to sit on the 250 gig seagate drive also off the 3114 controllers. It seems pretty stable now. I am going to blast it (zero out all three disks) and re-create the RAID volume (an overnight affair I am afraid), re-create the filesystem and give it another try. If its stable, then I am going to stick to the 3124 based controllers. The only problem I have with them is that they are 2 internal interfaces and 2 external (eSATA) interfaces and I have 10 internal SATA hotswap slots in this case.... They have solder pads for two more internal SATA connectors and they use 0 ohm SMD jumper resistors. If I am stuck using these cards I may get frisky and try de-soldering the SATA jacks from the 3114 cards, moving them to the 3124 cards and moving the SMD jumper resistors so I can have 4 internal ports on each:). Yes, I can solder SMD, but its a bit*h.... I am willing to blow up my setup one more time for the sake of science and the greater good to see the newer kernle can get the 3114 cards working. I am also willing to send the 3114 cards off to someone who works on this driver to get it stable. It looks like it will happen with different types of drives and I am soon to be quite attached to my 1.9Tb of storage so I will not send those out. Those 3114 cards are quite pervasive (and cheap) and it would be nice to have them work reliably. Personally, unless something changes I am going to focus on the 3124 cards at this point for my budget SATA needs. -- filesystem corruption on xfs using sata_sil (sil3114) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156612 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
