Summary: Adaptec SCSI RAID 2100 fails by reboot

Description Christophe 2001-11-22 16:20:01 UTC
Sometimes when rebooting with the reboot command our SCSI RAID-1 Adaptec 2100S one of the two disks of the array fails, not each time the same disk.

We changed the disks and the controler and still have the same problem.

You should really use ``shutdown -r now'' to reboot under normal circumstances.
reboot(8) doesn't give most programs a chance to shut down cleanly.

On top of that, whoever ends up fixing this is going to need a whole load more
info than you've provided.

Perhaps the relevant output for your disks and controllers would help.
What exactly do you mean by fail ?
What are the error messages ?

I'd suggest that you try this in -questions first, then people can help you
to at least narrow down the information that would be helpful in a problem
report.

Ruslan pointed out my brainfart regarding software and hardware RAID.

Christophe, could you follow up to the PR with the information you
promised in your mail to me yesterday.

I'll get my coat....

I give more information:

%uname -a
FreeBSD LMWEB2.lmweb.ch 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20
13:02:55
GMT 2000     jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386

(It's release 4.2...)

When it's OK:

LMWEB2# /usr/dpt/raidutil -L raid
Address       Type              Manufacturer/Model      Capacity  Status
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The I reboot with command shutdown -r now and when It reboots the alarm
is on and I get:

LMWEB2# /usr/dpt/raidutil -L raid
Address       Type              Manufacturer/Model      Capacity  Status

Please let us know if you are still having trouble.  dmesg output would 
be useful after a boot -v

This does not appear to be a driver problem.  Adaptec Tech Support can 
provide support for this as they do support FreeBSD.  Please contact them
