Symptom
- On a newly built Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) server, trying to create an 8000 MB device using the 'disk init' command.
- The 'disk init' command fails with a timeslice error and stacktracein the _pwrite() call:
kernel timeslice -501, current process infected at ffffffff7c8dc830 (_pwrite+0xc)
- The stacktrace includes the following modules:
pwrite()
udzero_out()
hdl_backout()
disk_phys()
- Smaller devices (less than 2000MB) are created without a problem and 'disk init' with 4000 MB may intermittently fail with the same stacktrace.
