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 see 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 arent 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 fist 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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
