hello,
One of my hdd's connected to pdc20276 ide raid controller gets dma timeout
when performing backup to scsi tape. Using hp dat24i bundled backup sw
tapeware (with latest service pack) it crashed 100%, usually close to the end
of the backup or at latest, during verify process. Using dump/restore package
it required some additional disk activity (copying files from/to samba share
over network) and 3-4 tries to trigger the dma timeout. pdc20276 has 2 60Gb
Maxtor D740X's configured as raid1 mirror. Motherboard is Asus A7V333 using
VIA KT333 chipset. I'm currently using kernel version 2.4.19-rc1 (2.4.18
didn't recognize the pdc20276 correctly yet). I'm also using sg version
30124, as tapeware support page suggests. Enabling taskfile and 'hack around
chipsets that timeout (wip)' kernel options did not resolve the issue. The
scsi board (sym53c810a) is one possible suspect, because stressing the disks
using bonnie++ and some samba network activity while scsi tape is idle does
not trigger the timeout. Any ideas what to check, do or patch to resolve the
issue are welcome :)
here come the logs:
