Kernel trap (??) booting TrueNAS with 2 x Kingston NVMe SSDs
-
@Andrew said in Kernel trap (??) booting TrueNAS with 2 x Kingston NVMe SSDs:
If you are using the newer KC3000/FURY
Nope, they are the new NV3s.
-
Further updates:
The 2 x Kingston SSDs can be passed through to other Linux based VMs (like Proxmox) without any issues.
If TrueNAS is loaded bare-metal on this server, it boots cleanly.
Ergo (to me anyway) it's an XCP/TrueNAS interaction causing the problem. The TrueNAS thread can be found here.
Cheers.

Just to be sure I get it: you are passing through the NVMe devices right? If yes, have you checked https://docs.xcp-ng.org/compute/#nvme-storage-devices-on-linux ?
-
@olivierlambert Yes, the devices were passed through to TrueNAS.
Would the brand of the NVMe make a difference or would this be based purely on the number of devices. I was able to passthrough 2 x SiliconPower devices without issue. It also worked with 1 x SiliconPower plus 1 x Kingston.
The failures occur when there are 2 x Kingston either in addition to any SiliconPower NVMe's or just on their own.
Cheers.

The answer is "can be both", depending on the NVMe brand. Have you tried to give more IRQ to see the result?
-
I wanted the previous answer before trying that, as I re-installed TrueNAS as bare-metal in the interim and didn't want to re-image back to XCP if it was purely dependent on the number of NVMe's and not the brands, as I already tested with just the 2 x Kingston.
Let me find a time I can re-image XCP and try with that parameter. Stand by.
Cheers.
-
That appears to be the solution. After adding that additional parameter, my TrueNAS SCALE system now boots cleanly, with all 4 NVME's available to it.
Cheers, and Thanks.

Now all I need to do is determine if these errors are from the NVME's themselves or the 4 x NVMe sled that they're inserted in. LOL.
Again, thanks for the help.
