<![CDATA[New install - TRIM and xpt_config hang]]>Hi folks,

Just finished a fresh install to disk and when booting I get the following message:

run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 60 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 120 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 180 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 240 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 300 seconds for xpt_config

At this point its another good 15 minutes before the system continues to boot. My hardware is:

Chassis Supermicro CSE-510T-200B
Mainboard Supermicro A1SRI-2758F
RAM 16GB (2x 8GB) Kingston KVR16LSE11/8
Storage Intel SSD DC S3500 120GB

In searching on the above issue I see its generally associated with firewire or USB. This board has no firewire and I've disabled USB which had no affect  in correcting the issue.

1. What else can I try to fix this?
2. Do I need to enable TRIM on the S3500?

Thank you

Popped in the drive, downloaded the latest 2.2.2, used Virtual Storage through iKVM to mount the ISO, rebooted and installed to the new hard drive. Rebooted, ran through the initial script and done. Also, TRIM is now enabled!  ;D

Thanks

/sbin/tunefs -t enable /

then

/sbin/reboot

Remember you must log in Single User Mode.

I have the same SSD, trim enabled. It works pretty fine.

Thanks. Amazon just informed me via email that it shipped and should be here Tuesday.

Is there a Howto anywhere on enabling trim for it? Seems there are many threads with user experiences and many links to others of the same. This is my first SSD drive so its a new thing for me. Would the following be the correct way to enable trim?

Run the file: /usr/local/sbin/ufslabels.sh
Edit /boot/loader.conf.local to include: ahci_load="YES"
Reboot
Run: touch /root/TRIM_set
Reboot again.
Verify with: tunefs -p /

Hopefully that's correct. Honestly, I'd have thought the enabling and disabling of trim at this point would have been a scripted and an option via the web interface and/or the console choices.

Will update once the replacement drive shows up. Gotta love Amazon!  :)

…..when it's in stock  ::) .. Supposed to be in early this week so hopefully I get the replacement by end of the week.

I'm also able to boot into the pfSense install though after a full 20 minute wait. Once it's running it seems to be fine. Smart data shows no disk issues however I've ordered a replacement disk which should be here tomorrow. I'll give that a try and see.

This is my first usage with SSD drives and just wanted to verify that bit using trim right away wouldn't hurt the drive.

Will update once the replacement drive shows up. Gotta love Amazon!  :)

Can you try to boot a live CD (linux or FreeBSD), and verify you can still access the drive?  It's good practice to enable TRIM once you are past this problem, but TRIM is not related to your boot hang.
