Good Day List,

Xserve G4

Xserve RAID, 2 LUN's of 6X250GB HDD's striped via Apple RAID 1.
Direct connected via copper SFP-SFP cables.

During periods of high IO (I think) RAID volume unmounts.

One of the LUN's is no longer available to the OS. Restart, and the volume
mounts as expected.


$ diskutil verifyVolume

indicates volume does not need repair.

Once volume is restored:

$ diskutil checkRAID

This happens consistently when an rsync cron job is enabled. Therefore it is
currently disabled. Also, I believe a Retrospect job triggered the behavior
and log entries above. I have only witnessed this behavior under these 2
scenarios.


There are no errors with the underlying LUN's in RAID Admin.

Using /bin/dd to write to the volume results in 127.89 MB/s.

The HBA has been replaced and the behavior remains.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,

I have had this very same exact thing happen to me. Made me bang my head against the wall. In my case, it was also an rsync cron job that made the volume unavailable to the OS (for writing, anyways -- users could still read, but make no changes). Would bring up an error -50 in the Finder anytime someone tried writing to the volume.


I switched to using unison instead of rsync and haven't had the problem since. It's slower, but works like a champ.
