md raid 5 with xfs copying data through Samba

md raid 5 with xfs copying data through Samba

[Ian Williamson]

Hello,

I have a Promise PCI SATA card that has 4 drives attached to it. I am
running software raid 5 with an xfs file system on md0.
/dev/md0:
        Version : 00.90.03

   Raid Devices : 4
  Total Devices : 4

When I try to copy files through Samba I get the following in /var/log/messages:

Then the transfer fails. When I ssh into the machine, I cd to the
mount point of md0, and the terminal inside of Putty stops responding,
Ctrl C doesn't work. I am forced to close the connection
I have tried two different PCI SATA cards and they have both had this
happen. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

PLEASE CC ME WITH ANY RESPONSES, I'M NOT SUBSCRIBED TO THE KERNEL LIST.
Thanks,

Michael,

It does the same thing that happens when I cd to the mount point. The
Putty terminal stops responding (not Windows style, just no output,
etc.)

I am running the PROMISE SATA300 TX4 PCI SATA II 4:
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16816102065

Before I was running the Rosewill Rc-209:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16816132006

I had the same problems with both cards. For the hard drives I'm using
four Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250820AS 250GB drives. I have an AMD
Athlon 2800+ with 1 GB of ram on a nforce 2 chipset.
