Hi, I am trying to add a fix to my kernel as the last step to fix my fileserver. I've ran into many issues with zfs and the Marvell Yukon 88E8056 Gigabit controller.
The first issue I faced was zfs causing a kernel crash when transferring at an average of 50 MB/s using Samba. Occasionally I would get this.
After some Googling, http://old.nabble.com/Repeatable-ZFS-"kmem-map-too-small"-panic-on-8.0-STABLE-td27262408.html, suggested adding vm.kmem_size="20G". This seemed to fix it. Surprisingly, my Samba transfer rate increased to 75 MB/s.
But, this was only half of the problem. The other half of the time I would get this error after transferring for about 15 minutes on Samba.
So after a lot more Googling I found this http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=116853. And it seems that would fix my Gigabit controller. Now, I am trying to add in the latest msk sources from http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/head/sys/dev/msk/. But, I've ran into compilation issues. I copied over the SVN versions of if_msk.c and if_regmsk.h into /usr/src/sys/dev/msk. My kernel source is the one that comes with 8.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.is.gz.
The default if_msk.c and if_regmsk.h came from revision 198475 (10/25/2009)
I followed the instructions on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html on how to build the kernel. I'm using the GENERIC conf in amd64. The command I typed in was "make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL"
However, it fails on compiling if_msk.c. Here is the output of stderr
Are there any other source files I need to copy over to make this work? Thanks for taking the time to read.
