hi all, before i start, let me say that i did search the archives AND read the man page for the wd driver... heres my situation: i have an old p3 500 that i wanted to build a large disk array on using vinum. i bought a promise ultra 66 card and 4 ibm 40g drives. so far so good. the kernel sees them fine with the ad driver. sysinstall sees them, can fdisk them, and label them. but when i try to change the fs type to vinum, there are no partitions except the main c partition. this happens regardless of whether i make them 'dangerously dedicated' or not. when i try a disklabel -e, whatever i do yeilds, "Operation not supported by device" i tried using the wd driver and they aren't seen at all. here are some particulars: the box has two 3com cards (xl) one advansys scsi card (adw) one sony sdt-10000 tape drive (sa) im running 4.3 BETA (wtf) my drives look like this: ad0: 8063MB <FUJITSU MPE3084AE> [16383/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 ad4: 39266MB <IBM-DTLA-305040> [79780/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA66 ad5: 39266MB <IBM-DTLA-305040> [79780/16/63] at ata2-slave UDMA66 ad6: 39266MB <IBM-DTLA-305040> [79780/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA66 ad7: 39266MB <IBM-DTLA-305040> [79780/16/63] at ata3-slave UDMA66 any ideas? is it some flag i need to add to my ad driver? my ata driver? my wd driver? the wd configs i tried using were these, and only the first 8g drive was seen. device wdc2 at isa? port 0 flags 0xa0ffa0ff device wd4 at wdc2 drive 0 device wd5 at wdc2 drive 1 device wdc3 at isa? port 0 flags 0xa0ffa0ff device wd6 at wdc3 drive 0 device wd7 at wdc3 drive 1 device wdc0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14 device wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 device wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 device wdc1 at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15 device wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 device wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 yes, i tried them all at once. i couldn't make sense of the LINT docs or the man page. any help is appreciated. chuck please cc me on any responses as im not on the list at current To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
