More RAID oddness

After running the 3Ware diagnostic script, the status of the array went to OK. A short time later, it reverted to this $ sudo /usr/local/sbin/tw_cli info c0 u0 Unit UnitType Status %RCmpl %V/I/M Port Stripe Size(GB) ———————————————————————— u0 RAID-0 OK – – – 64K 195.548 u0-0 UNKNOWN UNKNOWN – – p0 – 104.314 u0/v0 Volume – – – – – 195.548 But this differs from the web output (image) which is rather similar […]

FreeBSD 7.3 – you don’t want 16 CPUs

Oh… Apparently this afflicted 7.3-RELEASE for a short while, then was corrected in 7.3-STABLE. So I’m not sure what problem I was encountering below. The consensus now is I was hitting MAXCPU. But I should have hit that on 7.2. I upgraded a VM to FreeBSD 7.3 from 7.2 and now it won’t boot. It stops probing at MDT: Found CPU APIC ID 15 ACPI ID 15: disabled. Tried booting in single user,

Dual head RADEONHD – screen blanking

I recently upgraded xorg on my workstation at the office. Immediately I started seeing problems with one of the monitors. It would go empty/blank/black for three seconds, then resume normal operation. Then it would go blank again when I interacted with the screen. In short, that one monitor was completely useless. Swapping cables on the dual head video card moved the problem to the other monitor. All software was the latest version: xorg
