Hi,

For six months now I try to mount my SCSI Castlewood ORB drive as a DOS
partition to no avail.  Can you figure this one out please?

Computer: Athlon 700
Memory: 256 Mb
OS: FreeBSD 4.0

The corresponding lines in /var/log/messages are:
Dec 16 15:43:59  /kernel: Waiting 3 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
Dec 16 15:43:59  /kernel: da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0

READY, Medium not present

The corresponding lines in /var/run/dmesg.boot are:
Waiting 3 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0
da1: <CWS ORB2 -SE U ID 5 D29> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device

da2: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present

The output from fdisk /dev/da1 is:
******* Working on device /dev/da1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=534 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl)

parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=534 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 5,(Extended DOS)
    start 8064, size 4178048 (2040 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 1/ sector 1/ head 0;
        end: cyl 517/ sector 63/ head 127
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>

The relevant lines int /etc/fstab looks like this:
# Device  Mountpoint FStype Options  Dump Pass#
/dev/da1s1  /orb  msdos rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/da2s4  /izip  msdos rw,noauto 0 0

Yet, when I issue a "mount /izip" it will mount the zip drive properly
but when
I issue a "mount /orb" it complains:
msdos: /dev/da1s1: Invalid argument

I tried /dev/da1s1 through /dev/da1s4 as well as /dev/da1a through
/dev/da1h
but no success.

Please help

Thanks
