Hi Holm,
look at my ealier post, i describe the same problem.
http://www.nabble.com/dom0---tar:-Skipping-to-next-header-td16558409.html
so i get the error with etch 32 bit / 64 bit, xen 3.1 / 3.2 , with
2.6.18 kernel xen , with gentoo kernel 2.6.20r6 xen. It wasnt all the
time. But i have to reboot the maschine to get it solved for a while.
So i testet it with ca. 5 machines, setup in different ways with other
kernels.
In a way I'm happy I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. Are
you using the exact same controller as I am?
I did experience some issues when I would remove most of the memory; so
the system would be left with 1GB of memory. At that point, running my
script would cause several errors, ending up in the partition becoming
read-only:
PCI-DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for 65536 bytes at device 0000:02:01.0
3w-xxxx: tw_map_scsi_sg_data(): pci_map_sg() failed.

This problems seems to be unrelated tho, and some googling pointed me to
some 'swiotlb' kernel parameter
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299641), which I set to 32M
and seems to run OK for now.
Data is still being written corrupted to disk tho.
I think i could be a kernel compile parameter? or via chipset in
relation to 3ware raid controller?
Well, I hardly doubt it's something in the hardware itself. That just
does not explain why everything works fine under a non-Xen kernel.
All kernels I tried have the 3ware driver loaded as a module. The
drivers under both kernels appear to be the same:
p-dom0:/usr/src/xen-3.2.0/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg# sha1sum
drivers/scsi/3w-x*
d9da8960f6e98b783b4893cde51a303d97ce98d8 drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.c
2610261f86b4eb05a5d08c1f90f09410f1eb7c98 drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.h
p-dom0:/usr/src/linux-2.6.18.8# sha1sum drivers/scsi/3w-x*
d9da8960f6e98b783b4893cde51a303d97ce98d8 drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.c
2610261f86b4eb05a5d08c1f90f09410f1eb7c98 drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.h
So whatever is breaking stuff, must be something in the Xen code? I'm
going to compile a kernel with the 3w-xxxx driver compiled in, but I
doubt that helps.
Is there even anyone that uses the same controller and has no problems
at all?
Cheers,
