msk0: watchdog timeout
From the searches the Marvell network chipsets seem not to be supported (in my case 88E8056)
However, it seems to be more stable (?) than reported in other threads. May be ppl did some work on the driver, if not, then I guess it is some other variable. But if there was some work done I would like to acknowledge that and thank the team.
My experience: The system was running quite well for 3-4 weeks with large and small transfers from 2-3 clients. Yesterday night I initiate 4 simultaneous transfers from the NAS to other computers as I will be redoing the vdevs. It held up for a few hours and managed to transfer 3-4 TB. Then gave in the middle of the night. Rebooting the NAS and clicking retry on the client computers restarted the transfers with no other ill effects. So it was relatively painless.
I'm heading to microcenter when they open and getting an Intel NIC (EXPI9301CT) -- the dogs will enjoy the car ride and sniffing around the parking lot.
I'm planning to continue to run the Marvell unless the problem shows up again under normal loads, and have the Intel ready to go just in case. This is an old board, but it has an i7 and 24GB. It already has one video card (no onboard video) and 1 (later today there will be 2) SAS9211-8i cards. So I would rather no to put yet a 4th card on the old girl.
Hardware:
FreeNAS 11.3-RELEASE-p14
Graphics: discrete card
RAM: 24GB DDR3 1600 MHz
CPU: i7-960 3.2 GHz
MOBO: ASUS P6X58D-E BIOS 0803
HBA: (1 soon to be 2) LSI SAS9211-8i (IT)
Disks Pool 0: 1 CT500MX500SSD1 (SSD) -- iocage, user folders, temp storage
Disks Pool 1: (4 soon to be 9) Toshiba MG07ACA14TE (HDD) -- actual data
