Net6501-50 kingston ssd crash serial port not working
-
It does sound like you have a bad connection somewhere.

I'm interested in what kind of SSD was being run and if there was some sort of reliable wear leveling or trim? If not - Wouldn't recommend running a full install like that again.
-
The ssd used for install was a ssdnow series drive sms100s2/32g
I also don't understand why I get no input on the consoles. I tried three different USB-Serial adapters and three different computers, one with windows and putty and two with linux. I always get full normal output but can not type a key or command.
-
Bad console cable? Bad connector on the box?
Steve

I don't know, I tried different adapters as said could be the cable but I have only one serial.
Anyhow, when I manage to mount the SSD in another freebsd or pfsense, where do I find the configfile for the fullinstall version? i see there are /cf/conf but it is not a cf card…
And is that on ad6s1a or ad6s2a partition? Both seem same -
It's in the /conf folder. In Nano that's a simlink to /cf/conf because as you pointed out it's stored on a separate slice.
Can you test your console cable on some other piece of equipment? Have you tried waggling it? ;)

This is probably a dumb question, but I know your drive was capable of trim but was trim set up on the pfsense?
-
trim: I didn't know of that feature, so if pfSense didnt set it by default, I probably didn't set it.
About the slice:
g_vfs_done():ufs/pfsense1[READ(offset=1024004096, length=35328)]error = 5
vnode_pager_getpages: I/O read error
vm_fault: pager read error, pid 296 (php)
ad6: TIMEOUT - READ_MUL retrying (1 retry left) LBA=5854679So it seems that's the one with the error… I can mount ad6s1a without problems but ad6s2a won't allow me to mount it unless I set -o ro therefore I suppose that's the broken one.
Unfortunately I have only one serial cable but three different usb. Their serial ends are male however, so I need a female-female cable to connect them with the soekris. I tried to get a console on another box (not soekris) but that didnt work either. -
Yep - Not setting up TRIM will destroy your MLC drive in a hurry.
These will last a good long time with no special treatment. They are SLC

Try to find new spares if you can.
Or, if you feel like playing with TRIM, any good new drive will work IF you enable TRIM.

Yes I will need some spares now, I will look your recommendations up and check into trim feature, thank you.
