Kurz) Subject: WD8003E plus IDE -> hang Message-ID: <ssmku01.714579018@convex> Summary: HELP! Get hangs whenreading from IDE-Disc and writing to NFS-Mounted pa Keywords: WD8003E WD Sender: news@softserv.zdv.uni-tuebingen.de (News Operator) Organization: Comp. Center (ZDV) U of Tuebingen, FRG Date: Sun, 23 Aug 1992 14:10:18 GMT Lines: 35 Hello out there! 386BSD is great, but ... I do have the following problem: The UNIX-PC is connected via an WD8003E-Card to an HP 9000/345 Workstation. The Disc of the workstation is mounted via NFS. Doing an cp local_largefile foreign_largefile where local is on the PC-disc and foreign is on the disc of the workstation the system will hang after some time. Usually this happens after 100-1000KB of data beeing transfered. Well, let me say that the PC does not hang entirely, but the drive-light stayes on, and the following disc access will hang the machine. There must be something going wrong with the interrupt handling. This would explain why only reading fail, but writing to the local disc works. Perhaps we miss an interrupt, and the initated read is not served. But until now I was not able to track the problem down to where th things REALLY happen. Anyone out there with the same Problem, any suggestions? Tanks a lot The Configuration is th following: 486-PC, 33Mhz, 16MB-RAM, ST1239A-Disc, WD8003EP-Elite Card No slip and mfs configured, HP9000/345, 12MB, HP-UX 8.0, 425MB Disc Michael Class: ssmku01@convex.zdv.uni-tuebingen.de
