Update: added instructions for those using FreeBSD 8.x.
Here's a snip of my /var/log/messages:
kernel: ad4: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=26003999Upon searching for solutions I came across Jeremy Chadwick's page on wiki.freebsd.org. Jeremy has been registering issues that are commonly reported by FreeBSD users and also published troubleshooting methods for ATA/SATA issues.
kernel: ad4: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=56856991
kernel: ad4: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=57609503
kernel: ad4: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=174249023
kernel: ad4: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=190428031
kernel: ad4: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=1351930207
kernel: ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA48 retrying (0 retries left) LBA=1351930207
Jeremy informs that Volker Theile of the FreeNAS project had solved most of the problems by increasing a hard-coded arbitrary timeout value of 5 (seconds) in the ATA code to 10 or 15, while simultaneously making the timeout value adjustable via sysctl.
So I thought to myself "Might as well try the patch out and hope for the best". And I'm glad that I went along and tried it out as it fixed all of my issues.
Bellow are the needed steps to fetch the patch, apply it and compile a patched kernel:
- % fetch http://freenas.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freenas/trunk/build/kernel-patches/ata/files/patch-ata.diff
- % su
- # csup -h cvsup2.uk.freebsd.org -L 2 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile
- # cd /usr/src/sys/dev
- # patch < /path/to/patch
- # cd /usr/src
- # make kernel
- # cp -Rp /boot/kernel.old /boot/kernel.SATA-ISSUES
- # reboot
Note: if you are running FreeBSD 8.x fetch the patch file using this URL instead http://www.avenard.org/files/ata_timeout.patch. Replace the step 1 URL with this one.
Next, with steps 4 and 5 patch the source code with FreeNAS' patch and build a patched kernel. Do notice that I used csup pointing to /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile as I'm running FreeBSD 7.1 (of simply use your own supfile). Further information on how to build a kernel can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html.
As a safety precaution back up the old kernel as described in step 9.

This looks just like the issue I'm having. Is there a place where I could get a the kernel file with the patch applied. I don't have a FreeBSD system (virtual or otherwise), so it would save me some time.
Thanks
No need, just follow steps 1 to 4 to pull FreeBSD source code, fetch the patch and apply it.
No magic involved ;)
Best regards.
Wooot ... thanks. This (probably) solved the issue I was having. Still stress testing the FreeBSD 7.2 box, but it's been running smoothly for 2 days under normal load, whereas it used to spill out these errors after 5 minutes of no load at all :-)
Good to know mate ;)
Using a 1TB drive on a freenas box (using the 0.7-RC2 release) and having these problems. However I can't find the patch anymore... Has this been fixed downstream?
Hi Christian!
AFAIK the problem isn't fixed in FreeBSD 7.x. On FreeNAS I don't know how the situation stands.
The link seems to be down or the file was moved. But I have the patch if you want I can mail it to you.
For reference here's Jeremy Chadwick page: http://wiki.freebsd.org/JeremyChadwick/ATA_issues_and_troubleshooting.
Regards.
Ok.
I've just sent the pacth within a gzip archive. Extract it and you'll get the patch.
Deleted my comment with my e-mail for obvious reasons ;)
This works. I did this myself in about 30 minutes. Constant DMA TIMEOUTS disappeared forever after having done this. Thank you for the post. Why won't the developers take a look at this? Are they looking for a better solution first? I am a linux admin trying to move to FreeBSD. I like it very much so far, but stuff like this is bad. It almost turned me away for good. It's the second machine on which I've had this problem. Not sure about the negative affects of this solution, but it has proven successful. Thanks again! T
In case you're having trouble grabbing the patch, I'm going to try to attach it here. This is for 7.0 (I applied this patch manually).

Hi Tony!
Thanks for the feedback. Glad that the issue got fixed for you too.
As for the PR there are several submitted some dating back since 2006.
The funny thing is the problem got fixed by the FreeNAS guys however it wasn't incorporated into FreeBSD.
Regards.
Thing is though, I have a secondary issue. This second issue is probably what caused the first issue (DMA TIMEOUTS) to begin with. My disks keep spinning down then up, every 20 seconds or so. I have no idea why this is happening, but it's not just one disk. I think that it was timing out because the disk goes to spin up and that takes too long. Any ideas here? I've used atacontrol and it's not configured to spindown. Thanks.
Haven't come across a similar issue.
Maybe this thread at FreeBSD's forums help: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=1012&highlight=spindown.
link to patch is not working, can you please send it to gkmadushan@gmail.com.
Thank you.
Just mailed you the patch.
Do notice that it was already pasted in the comments.
Take care.

The procedure and patch work. I've applied on both FreeBSD 7.1 and 7.2 up to p3.
Just stick with the procedure and check that your source code is clean.
If you want drop your email address and I'll send you the original patch.
And judging by your timestamp you aren't using the correct patch.
Hi Tangram

Graeme
Ok. You got mail.
If you run into any issues let me know :)
Hi Tangram
Yep that seemed to work ok, just for your info the patch that gave me the inital problem was a copy n paste of the patch posted in a comment further up the forum. Building the kernel as I type so I will let you know if all goes well
Regards
Graeme
Hi there Graeme
I suspected as much. I guess that the copy paste mangles things.
When I have the time I'll upload or share the patch somewhere.
Take care.
Hi Michael,
Just sent you the patch.
Regards.
1st of all, thank you for a quick reaction and sending me the patch.
The other thing is - it didn't help in my case, still having trouble accesing one of my sata disks :( :

Have a browse at the open problem reports, maybe there's something on GEOM related issues.
actually, it's not a geom issue, it happens even with geom turned off, everytime I access ad4 it begins to storm and ends with detaching the drive...
I'm already doing the research ;) I was hoping this patch will fix it, but unfortunately it didn't :(
I'd very much like to have to patch as well. Copy paste the patch in the thread ends up with the same patch: **** malformed patch at line 4: uma_zone_t

Don't forget that you need to extract the patch from the archive that I've mailed you.
Check out the source code again and re-apply the patch on the freshly downloaded source code.
In other words: follow the how to from the start.
Thanks for the patch, installing went perfect, made the new kernel, but situation got worse :-( Before, I managed to mount the disk and it only produced errors under load, now it doesn't even get through the boot-fase; messages-file:
ad6: 1430799MB SAMSUNG HD154UI 1AG01118 at ata3-master SATA150
ad6: FAILURE - device detached
It's an external USB/eSata drive. Works perfect with USB but performance is low 25MB/s write and 28MB/sec read. With eSata, my previous (but now dead 1TB disk) performance was 3 times better.
Sorry to hear that Janis.
The patch is supposed to address ATA/SATA issues. Haven't used it on USB.
You can easily revert the patch.
Run csup an pull the source code. This will overwrite the patched source code. From there compile the kernel and reboot.
Take care.
Hi Tangram,
No, what I said is: the disk works fine via USB (but slow).
I want it to work via eSata because that's much faster. It used to work with my 1TB disk, but that crashed. I have a 1.5TB now which refuses to work with eSata.
So back to USB.
Thanks for all the effort!
Hi Janis,
Have a look to Jeremy Chadwick page on FreeBSD's wiki. Maybe there's something that can help your case.
Best of luck ;)
Please could someone email me the patch?
freebsdpatch[AT]worldwide.me.uk
Thanks!
Could someone please send me a copy of this patch?
jackpenno[AT]yahoo.com.au
After someone sent me the patch i thought i might post some links.

Hi Jack.
It was me that sent you the patch. Thanks for hosting the file.
Do give feedback if it worked out for you.
Regards.
Thanks man, wasn't sure if you wanted me to disclose your name. I'm pretty lost trying to apply this patch. I'm not really a FreeBSD person, just a FreeNAS user. Is there any way to patch/compile the kernel from windows?
I think this patch is already part of FreeNAS. After all it was created by Volker Theile of the FreeNAS project.
If you want to access FreeNAS, FreeBSD or any other Unix like system the easiest way is using SSH. To that end you need to enable it under the Unix like system (read FreeNAS manual on where to enable the service) and use a Windows SSH client such as PuTTY.
That's pretty much outside the scope of this post, but you can find tons of online articles on this subject.
Take care.
All of the original post is directed only to FreeBSD, namely 7.1 and 7.2 (haven't migrated to 8.0 so not sure if it's applicable or not).
The patch is applied to affect operating system source code and then compiled. FreeBSD ships with the source code and can be installed using sysinstall or fetched using csup.
To my knowledge FreeNAS doesn't ship with it source code nor there's an easy way to access it.
Is this ever going to be fixed? or can someone post how to install the patch without using fetch.
I'm not following you with regards to fetch. What's the problem with using fetch? You can of course download the using other tool such as wget. The thing is fetch is part of the base system while for instance wget is a third party application that needs to be installed.
The same issue occurs at regular interval (about once a day) with FreeBSD 8.0
This is part of the ZFS RAID array, and every day zfs reports errors which have to be cleared with zpool clear..
here is the patch for 8.0

Can someone explain this to me in plain english? Sorry, real noob here. Been getting this problem and I assume that my com is idle now trying to fix my problem.
How do I apply the patch in Freenas interface? Like where do I click etc... I've built a freenas system and plan to do a raid 5 but have been hitting obstacles after obstacles...
Hope this will be the last 1... Please help. Thanks in advance
I'm getting the same error as you guys when I check my log which is.
kernel: ad1: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=21219968
Over and over again... just to clarify.
Have you read the HowTo? If so read it again.
It's meant for FreeBSD, namely 7.x.
The patch was fetched from FreeNAS so I assume that the problem has been fixed in the latter version of FreeNAS. You can query FreeNAS developers on the subject.
To sum up, please read the entire post again.

Just thought I'd share what I'm doing. I've built a Freenas box and initially put in a 1.5TB HD and mounted it.
Soon after, I'm already close to filling it up so I got myself another 5 x 1.5TB HDs and planned to SoftRaid 5 them.
I'm running Freenas on a 1.8 Celeron with 1GB ram and have used a via sata controller to add in the other 2 SATA HDs as the motherboard only has 4 SATA inputs.
While trying to build this I kept getting IPTOS_LOWDELAY error, so I got the latest Freenas release and now I'm plagued with kernel: ad1: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying issue. Please help as I've been trying to resolve this issue for over a week now.
Thanks Heaps.
Hi Tangram, thanks for the swift reply. I know its for FreeBSD but thought that since its running on the same platform that it can be applied to Freenas...
I have read the How TO but as I've said... I don't understand the language ha ha... yeah... No background on FreeBSD whatsoever... that's why I was hoping you could guide me through the Freenas WebGUI...
WOuld really appreciate it as I've googled for this problem and couldn't find a solution anywhere except here... Just people complaining about the same problem...
Hi there,
FreeNAS is essentially a very customized and cut down version of FreeBSD. Non-essential things for its use (file serving) were taken out.
This means that you won't be able to rebuild your kernel out-of-the-box much less using a web GUI.
Plus the issue your having maybe related with something else from your set-up.
You could try to narrow down the problem. For example disabling the SATA controller, seeing if the problem is in the RAID array, and so on.
Try getting help from FreeNAS mailing list or forum (I assume they have something like that).
Best of luck.
Thanks Tangram, should have done that first. Was just googling for the problems I was having when I should have just went to the Freenas Forums...
Thanks
Do reply back back if your find a solution or workaround for your problem.
Cheers mate ;)
LoL, found the solution and feeling a little embarrassed by it. Good thing I got a GURU in the forums to look at it.
It was just the power supply and my disk was spinning down cos the power wasn't sufficient to run 6 HDs and 9 fans for cooling ha ha ha.
Cheers
Just so people know: my timeout issues ended with FreeBSD 7.3.
Upon reading http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.3R/relnotes-detailed.html I suspected as much, and upon compiling FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE all was fine. 24 hours latter I haven't found a single error message and the server is just fine.
I just the next step would be to look up at the diff between each release and see what was pacthed ;)
Hi,
I'm experiencing similar issues on FreeBSD 8.1 RELEASE.
Is there a similar patch for 8.1 available?
thanks,
Blacky
The patch I posted above for FreeBSD 8.0 will apply fine with 8.1
It works for me with the following settings in /boot/loader.conf
hw.ata.to=15
Could someone upload somewhere this patch, please? When I'm trying to apply patch copied from here i get: "Patching file ata/ata-all.c using Plan A...
patch: **** malformed patch at line 6: int ata_wc = 1;
"
I'm still running FreeBSD 7.x so can't help.
However according to Jean-Yves Avenard his patch code works. Probably formating issues?
It is a formatting issue.
Original patch can be found here:
http://www.avenard.org/files/ata_timeout.patch
I've updated the post with the FreeBSD 8.x patch.
Hello thanks fo help
I try the commande csup but: "command not found"
please help
I've freenas 7.3
Just for information: while this hasn't been fixed as elegantly as in the patch FreeBSD does incorporate since 8-STABLE r199158 a solution for the problem: ATA_REQUEST_TIMEOUT kernel option that be be set higher than the default 5.
What is needed is adding "options ATA_REQUEST_TIMEOUT=X" (where X is timeout in seconds) into the kernel configuration file.
Changing the timeout will need rebuilding and installing the kernel, but it's still better than nothing.
Hello,
Please send me the patch for FreeBSD 7.2 to cristimiu@yahoo.com!
The links on mediafire and hotfile are outdated.
Many thanks in advance,
Is this patch deprecated/obsolete? I'm applying it to 8.4 sources and a GENERIC kernel and I see this.

The patch applied cleanly so I assume those changes were not already in the tree.
@ a progressive crank
I have no idea. The last time I applied the patch was in 7.4 since then the machine I had running FreeBSD died.
