Kernal Panic - hfs_UNswap_BTNode: invalid node kind

Grant,

I have a good backup. I have taken all of the drives out of my machine except my boot drive which is an SSD. I have run the repair disk on all of them, and it doesn't turn anything up. I don't really understand how that can be. OWC said they would take the drive back and test it and replace it if they find anything. But I have a feeling that its a waste of time b/c they are going to run diagnostics on it, and it will pass.

Do you think Disk warrior would be better?

Grant,

I spoke to OWC a few months ago about trim enabler and this type of drive and they said don't use it b/c it has something on board that does that. I do have new information though. I spoke to disk warrior (i was already a customer) a few weeks ago, and the guy I spoke to there said to boot from a clean disk and run disk warrior on the SSD I'm using as my OS drive now. I did that. .. 2 times. Both times ended in the machine rebooting itself when it got to the phase "Verifying Directory Data". This was after it supposedly rebuilt the structure. Now, that being said, the drive I booted off of was an internal drive connected to one of their "caddys" through the Accelsior PCIe SSD card VIA eSATA. So, I don't know if it freaked out because the drive I booted off of was connected to the one it was fixing ... I'm grasping at straws now.

Here is the new "panic" that was recorded during those incidents.

Linc,

Thanks for the information. The first test I'm going to try is ... I am going to put a new OS on an internal drive and see if I have the same disk warrior problem by reorganizing the accelsior.

Then, Do you think I can clone the accelsior, take it out and run that as a test to see if the panics go away? If I clone the drive at least I can save some time. It might even be a better test b/c I'm using the exact same OS just different hardware.

Okay, here is an update. Using the newly installed OS I was able to use disk warrior to repair the Accelsior. The repaired stuff in the disk warrior report didn't look all that significant, but it WAS able to repair it, which it hadn't been able to do using the external drive hooked up to the assessor. I am going to let it sit over night and see if it panics.

Sorry, I just saw that last one. I had already done the disk warrior test. The only thing is that the panic is intermittent, so I guess at some point if it hasn't happened, then its the Accelsior? If it is, then what? Do I send it back and get them to replace it, or are you thinking its just a function of it being in there that's causing the issue?

Linc,

I am working in that direction. I'll report back what I find.

I wanted to let you know that I spoke with OWC and they replaced the unit under warranty. After receiving it, they said it failed the SMART test. Plus, I cloned the SSD and just put it on a mechanical hard drive and it has been working for weeks without any kernel panic. I am reluctant to use the new one for the OS / boot drive. I liked the speed, but I can't deal with the reliability issues. I am going to put a plain SSD in, and use it, and just use the accelsior for non critical high speed applications .... like a scratch disk, Lightroom catalog, etc. After having 2 fail, I don't want to be bit by that again.
