Well shortly after posting checked hsv.forsale and found IBM DDRS 9.1G drives locally for $225 each. Turns out they are HP OEM. I now have two of them. Any known firmware problems with HP-marked drives? Was considering a single $350 drive but when the opportunity to purchase two lesser (not LVD, 512k cache not 2048k) drives I thought it would be fun to play with vinum. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Time to buy a new drive ? It looks like you have a cabling or termination problem. Or perhaps a bent pin somewhere. It doesn't necessarily look like a drive problem, but more like a SCSI bus problem.

I've got a disk where the partition table and the disklabel has mysteriously disappeared! Oops. I've reconstructed the partition table, and now need to partition the disklabel. If I mount /dev/wd2s1c I get the root (/) partition back, although the size is obviously bogus in the disklabel; now I'd like to search for the other partitions. /etc/disktab tells me which partitions there used to be, but I don't know where they start, or how large they are. I'm guessing that it should be a fairly simple process of scanning the disk for superblocks and from them I should be able to determine the start of each partition and the sizes from there. Can anyone fill me in on what to look for superblock wise please? I've spent a few hours reading the fsck docs and scanning through the header files and source code, but haven't found the answer yet. The data on the disk isn't crucial, I can rebuild the system if necessary, but it seems that maybe I can spend less time writing a recovery tool than it would take to start from scratch.

Well, I'm the author of these drivers. I find them pretty good, but with the proviso that: a) Private loop only (working on fabric support now) b) I don't handle loop id's shifting around. In two years of fooling around with this, I've not really seen this happen. Beyond that, they seem to work pretty well. But I've not had a very large set of hardware to play with. I'd be very grateful for any feedback you could provide.

Looked like the drive was doomed as it was spinning up and down. Prior weeks it had simple random errors. Opened the case and pulled the power plug from the drive. It came out too easily. Crimped the pins a bit with needle nose pliers. Its been running perfectly the past month. One day when "camcontrol defects" works with IBM drives (and 1st generation Adaptec 2940 in this case), then I'll see how many bad blocks are in the grown list. Its partly my fault for camcontrol not working as I haven't snipped the error messages and forwarded them to the appropriate places.

I have a box with the Mylex controller in it right now, but I have no time to work on the driver. As I also have an AMI Megaraid 428, you could test on that box.

After getting a new (external) tape drive and hooking it up to my system, I now find that my SCSI chain is too long to work reliably. If I unplug all my external devices (thus leaving only the internal hard drives), everything works fine. So it's time to get me a new SCSI card -- one with multiple buses on the same card. Normally, I would buy a second SCSI card, but unfortunately I am also out of PCI slots. So I need some help from the FreeBSD SCSI community in choosing a new card! Here are my requirements: * IMPORTANT!! Separate SCSI buses for internal and external connector. My SCSI chain is too long to have both internal and external be on the same bus. * Narrow Ultra SCSI support (50-pin, 20MB/s). I don't have any Wide or Ultra2/U2W/etc. devices, nor do I plan on getting any. * FreeBSD compatibility, of course! But it would be great if the card works under Linux as well, since I have to do projects in Linux now and then. * Reasonable cost. I unfortunately don't have a lot of money to spend. Are there any NCR/Symbios cards that fit the bill? I really like this chipset and it is a heck of a lot cheaper than Adaptec... In addition, if someone can point me to a good mail order (or Web order) place where I can get this card, I would be very grateful.

We do have a OHCI low level driver for USB and if I am not mistaken FireWire uses OHCI as well. If that is the case, you might be able to grab sys/dev/ohci and modify that one to your taste. I've had a couple of e-mails from people wanting to work on it, but never heard anything from them again (ca. half a year ago).
