Hello,
there seems to be a problem with DM-Crypt on Areca raid controllers.
My system:
Intel E6600
Intel DQ965GF Board (Q965 chipset)
4GB DDR2 667MHz RAM (4x1024MB MDT 667)
Areca Raid ARC-1261ML
5x Samsung HD500LJ (raid5)
2x WD5000YS (raid1 system)
I tried to install a crypted filesystem on the raid5 (/dev/sdb):
Steps to reproduce:
1. create a linux partition on Areca (tested with raid5) - /dev/sdb1
2. cryptsetup --verbose --verify-passphrase luksFormat /dev/sdb1
[choose a password]
3. cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 crypt
[enter the password]
4. mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/crypt
<sometimes this takes a lot of time and the errors on the bottom occurs>
5. mount /dev/mapper/crypt /mountpoint
6. copy a big file to the mounted filesystem or copy a small file and
type sync
Now the computer hangs for some time and in the dmesg:
arcmsr0: isr get an illegal ccb command done
acb='0xffff810127408538'ccb='0xffff810020020000'
ccbacb='0x22820c04540140c1' startdone = 0x2a01 ccboutstandingcount=1
arcmsr0: abort device command of scsi id=0 lun=1
arcmsr0: isr get an illegal ccb command done
acb='0xffff810127408538'ccb='0xffff810020020000'
ccbacb='0x22820c04540140c1' startdone = 0x2a01 ccboutstandingcount=2
arcmsr0: abort device command of scsi id=0 lun=1
arcmsr0: isr get an illegal ccb command done
acb='0xffff810127408538'ccb='0xffff810020020000'
ccbacb='0x22820c04540140c1' startdone = 0x2a01 ccboutstandingcount=3
arcmsr0: abort device command of scsi id=0 lun=1
arcmsr0: isr get an illegal ccb command done
acb='0xffff810127408538'ccb='0xffff810020020000'
ccbacb='0x22820c04540140c1' startdone = 0x2a01 ccboutstandingcount=4
.... and so on.
Tested with:
Debian4 64Bit standard kernel (2.6.18) and 2.6.21.1
Centos5 32Bit standard kernel (2.6.18) and 2.6.21.1
Centos5 64Bit standard kernel (2.6.18) and 2.6.21.1
and every time the same result.
Best regards,
Marco Balle
