Just as I create a ZFS pool and copy the root partition to it.... the performance seems to be really good then suddenly the system hangs all my sesssions and displays on the console:
Oct 10 00:23:28 sunrise arcmsr: WARNING: arcmsr0: dma map got 'no resources'
Oct 10 00:23:28 sunrise arcmsr: WARNING: arcmsr0: dma allocate fail
Oct 10 00:23:28 sunrise arcmsr: WARNING: arcmsr0: dma allocate fail free scsi hba
AR1100 was running in JBOD mode and write-back caching under Solaris Express Xen Drop b66 07/07. Never had problem this setup under linux under heavy load.
ARECA SATA-SAS RAID Host Adapter Driver(i386) 1.20.00.13,REV=2006.08.14
I filed a support ticket with Areca with areca already.
Anyone you explain me what the error message is about?
Would turning off write-back help? I am going to try that.
Here is the log of what I did to setup the controller using the areca cli:

Updated to latest firmware 1.43-70417 ...
same problem..

The only positive thing is that everytime I try to copy my UFS root (about 5 gig) to a ZFS filesystem, this bug happen.

Disabling write cachin didn't help, it actually made it worse.
Next and last try, I am going to set up the two disks in raid 1 mode instead of JBOD.
I am also going to call Areca in taiwan and shake them up a little bit.

Outside of xen ( it was running in a dom0),the zfs root creation executed flawlessly.
and it seems that these dma error are caused by xen related isssue :(.
There is an old thread talking about DMA issues on machine with lots of ram (8gig here.)
Reposting to the Xen mailing list.

This is not a xen issue (or at least not just). I have this happening to me on physical machine (3 different machines, 2 different motherboard configs, both on ARC1680ix and on ARC1280ML controllers).
