https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=238572 ------- Comment #4 from jim@edwardsj7.com 2007-02-06 16:06 MST ------- I would love to send you a log file, but once the SCSI system locks-up all writing to anything stops, so the logs show nothing. The issue is very hard to understand, it happened twice yesterday almost immediately after booting and then not for the rest of the evening. My feeling is that heavy traffic on the SCSI bus is what provokes it, but it is only a feeling I have no hard evidence to back it up. For example I can almost guarantee to cause a lock-up by trying to make an "iso" file from my /home/USER directory (~2.4GB), which takes data from a SCSI drive and then sends the iso image back to the same drive ... Lots of traffic ! During a re-boot the zen update software runs and it accesses the drives a lot, maybe if I am adding traffic to that by starting applications (browsers in yesterday's case) it is overloaded. Maybe the timing in the driver is too aggressive ? As I said Suse 9.0 has no such problem with the same hardware, but its AIC79xx driver is much older. In fact I see that Adaptec has only up to a version 2 driver for 2.6 kernels, while 10.2 loads a version 3 ??? Could I downgrade the driver to the Adaptec one ? Anyway, if there is nothing that can be done that's it. I will wait in the hope that there will be an update to the driver that will fix the issue by coincidence ;-) Jim -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
