:Hello.
:Have you ever seen this message appeared on DragonFly's console?
:
:The first time I've noticed this was November 14th, when I was
:running fsck on my biggest partition. At the time I thought this
:either because the drive was broken, or my laptop was broken.
:Today I've upgraded one of FreeBSD-STABLE machines to DragonFly,
:and when I ran a script, it suddenly slowed down, and when I managed
:to terminate X, there were bunch of the error message(in the subject
:of this message) on the console. The script which triggered the
:symptom basically does something like this(as non-root user):
:
:$ find /usr/src -type f | xargs -n 300 md5 -r
:
:the symptom happened when I redid an installworld of DragonFly.
:Finally I've reverted the machine to FreeBSD-STABLE, and tried the
:same script but it finished without the errors, so I suppose it's
:not hardware failure.
:
:Unfortunately, I didn't configure syslogd to keep /var/log/messages
:for months, so I'm not sure when this first began, but it seems that
:the kernel built from November 11th's source had this problem. What
:makes me puzzled is that `make -j3 buildworld' doesn't trigger this
:problem, but rather running fsck on a big partition, or doing some
:disk I/O intensive processes(especially when it's doing a READ from
:the disk?) would do.
:
:Regards.

    I have never seen this before, but looking at the code it only
    occurs during a PIO mode operation.  Do you see any other 
    messages, like 'DMA problem fallback to PIO mode', or is your
    system just doing PIO by default?
