ATA - DMA Failed

P

Pfarthing6

Hey all,

I'm trying out 8.1-RC1 and getting this kind of error for all of my drives that are hanging off of my SuperMicro MV8 controller:

Code: 
ata3: FAILURE - oversized DMA transfer attempt 267264 > 32768
ata3: setting up DMA failed

I can still seem to mount the drive though, but if it's reverting to PIO mode, that's a problem. I'm not sure how to tell.

Also, the MV8 is being recognized as a Marvel 88SX6081 SATA300 controller. In 8.0-STABLE it was working w/out these errors.

I haven't found much on this searching and no hits in the forum.


Any suggestions?

thanks!
 
I am surprised. It shouldn't happen. Could you give more info, like verbose dmesg?

You may also try newer mvs(4) driver from CAM ATA infrastructure.

I'll look into the mvs driver.

Here's the more detailed output of dmesg though (ata related):

Somebody suggested adding a device hint that would cap the transfer size. Not sure how to do that, but looking into it now.
 
So as suggested, I tried the MVS driver/module. Just loaded in the loader.conf to test.

No errors now...

I don't really know how to read this though:

Code: 
300.000MB/s transfers (SATA 2.x, UDMA6, PIO 2048bytes)

Does this mean the device is operating at 300MB/s using SATA2.x, but backward compatible with UDMA6 and PIO?

Actually, I'm not used to using tags for anything, just plain old text. And after I saw some edits to my posts, I actually looked for how to do that, but seeing as it's burried in BaseSystem/General, I didn't see it nor did a search reveal it.

Thanks though, I'll read it through.

Transfer size there capped to 32K by controller driver. But something ignores that limitation, trying to transfer 261K. Try to boot with verbose messages, may be it show something more.

Yes. Physical link works at 300MB/s of SATA 2.x. Drive supports DMA commands, though as it is native SATA drive (not PATA with converter) specific mode is not important. Drive also supports PIO commands, transferring up to 2K per interrupt, if somebody wish.
