Fatal trap 12 with HP smart array p400

[mcacciagrano]

Hello,
I am trying to configure Freenas 8.0.4 on the following hardware:

HP DL385 G2, with a SmartArray P400 Raid controller.

The P400 has two logical volumes: a RAID1 on two drives, onto which I installed the operating system, and a RAID5 (4.5T) on 6 drives, which I would like to use for the server storage.

I have been so far unable of using the RAID5 as storage.
I can see the RAID5 volume, and I can try to build a file system on it (all this by using the web gui). The problem is that as soon as I hit the button to create the file system (ZFS or UFS, whatever I choose), the system locks up with a Fatal trap 12 message.

It seems to me that the problem is the smart daemon. In fact in the system log I can see that the file system is some how created, and that the system crashes after the system log displays this:

May 27 11:31:55 luchino freenas[1841]: Popen()ing: zpool import
May 27 11:31:58 luchino last message repeated 2 times
May 27 11:31:58 luchino freenas[1841]: Popen()ing: zpool import -R /mnt visconti
May 27 11:31:58 luchino freenas[1841]: Popen()ing: zfs inherit -r mountpoint visconti
May 27 11:31:58 luchino freenas[1841]: Executing: zpool set cachefile=/data/zfs/zpool.cache visconti
May 27 11:31:58 luchino freenas[1841]: Executing: zfs set aclmode=passthrough visconti
May 27 11:31:58 luchino freenas[1841]: Executing: zfs set aclinherit=passthrough visconti
May 27 11:31:58 luchino freenas[1841]: Popen()ing: zfs inherit -r mountpoint visconti
May 27 11:31:58 luchino freenas[1841]: Popen()ing: zfs list -t filesystem -o name -H -r visconti
May 27 11:31:58 luchino freenas[1841]: Executing: /usr/sbin/service ix-smartd quietstart

I was wondering whether this is a known issue, and whether there is a fix for it.

It is worth mentioning that I got the same Fatal trap 12 thing when running smartctl -i on the RAID5 device..


Please let me know, as I am quite stuck with this.

Cheers,

For the server storage don't setup RAID 5 using the P400 controller, use RAID 0, as the ZFS file system from FreeNAS will handle the RAID 5 itself

Actually, that RAID controller might support JBOD mode, which is even better than selecting RAID 0, so your controller will just pass the drives thru to ZFS.
