Preferably, an affordable S-ATA RAID version. So far, we're wondering which controller would be a good choice. What we've come up with so far are the Adaptec 1210SA S-ATA RAID controller and a Promise S150 TX2Plus RAID which seem affordable. I have some experience with 3Ware's Escalade models, but they are rather expensive. Hence our search for alternatives. Checking the hardware support pages, I could not find these models (or indication of similar models/ranges) in the hardware notes. Is there anyone with experience with the Adaptec 1210 or Promise S150 cards or are they unsupported. If unsupported, is there anyone with advice of affordable alternative S-ATA RAID controllers?

I have had similar performance in a NetBSD machine. I believe the NetBSD driver is a port from the FreeBSD one. Performance of the cards (an Escalade 7000, in my case) is splendid.

Some motherboards may have mechanical issues, but you should be able to find at least one slot that works on most boards. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.

Once FreeBSD has booted, inserting the card works and I can configure ath0 as required. The problem is that FreeBSD does not see the card during the boot process. If I boot with the card inserted, nothing appears when it is removed, but it properly detects when reinserted.

We're using 64 of the Intel OEM 1U systems in our computing cluster. They are a little more expensive then some of the other options, but they have been very reliable for us. We had one DOA with what looked like a PS issue and one that had a stick of ram failed, but that's it about a year and a half.

Well, I had to do with some Dell's with Suse, which is also not really supported by Dell. Well, as far as you can tell the support guy, that it is really a hardware issue, that you have really verified, and that you won't install a windows prog to gather some data, it may work. Otherwise Dell may insist, that you use some stuff from the extra service partition on your RAID5 setup, and without they won't support you, as far as rumours from some colleagues spread... I personally prefer the Sun V60x and 65x, nice relabelled Intel boxes, with quality support. Or Supermicro, which are mostly handled by barebone-builders.

I want to install FreeBSD 5.1 but it doesn't work with the controller. 5.1 crashes in sysinstall, when probing for devices. I don't know exactly why, but this happens even if the controller is out of the computer. maybe because it doesn't find any hdd ? ok, I got then 5.2RC2 boot floppies, and this doesn't crash, but still it doesn't identify the raid controller, it see 2 hdd. I installed the base system on one of them, and unfortunatly I cannot boot it. Please help me with any suggestion. I don't really care about the hardware raid, I only wish that i could install and boot from one of the drives. Will JBOD mode help me in any way ? I am waiting for any suggestions... If I can't solve this problem, I will be forced to use linux, or I will leave another person taking care of the server, by installing windows :( Thank you very much.

I was considering GigaBytes GA-8IK1100 http://tw.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/Products/Products_Spec_GA-8IK1100.htm Im looking for something similar to the feature set of that mobo. Next, I'm not up on the differences between Athlon and P4, what do freebsd users general think prefer? Finally is HypterThreading offer a real advantage?

So far I did only few steps: I downloaded a driver from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?software=True&compamodel=RTL8180L (But I'm even not sure if this driver is suitable for FreeBSD) in makefile I changed NCLUDEPATH=-I/usr/src/linux-$(KERNELRELEASE)/include/ to INCLUDEPATH=-I /usr/src/include/ then I try to make, but I've got an error message: make: don't know how to make %.o:. Stop So I experimented a little with makefile (without knowing what I'm realy doing :-) ) I chanched a line: ${OPEN_OBJS}: %.o: %.h r8180_type.h r8180_export.h to ${OPEN_OBJS}: *.o: r8180_type.h r8180_export.h then it finally starts compile, but I found I do not have all needed header files output was as follows: homeserver# make all gcc -O6 -Wall -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DLINUX -I /usr/src/include/ -DRTL_IO_MAP -DRTL_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DRTL_ACT_AS_STA -DRTL8180_DRV_ON_PC -DENABLE_DBG_PRINT -c -o r8180_pci_init.o r8180_pci_init.c r8180_pci_init.c:21:26: linux/module.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:22:26: linux/kernel.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:23:26: linux/config.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:24:24: linux/init.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:25:26: linux/ioport.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:26:25: linux/sched.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:27:25: linux/types.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:28:24: linux/slab.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:29:29: linux/netdevice.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:30:23: linux/pci.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:31:31: linux/etherdevice.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:32:25: linux/delay.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:33:50: linux/rtnetlink.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:34:28: linux/wireless.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:35:25: linux/timer.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:36:72: linux/proc_fs.h: No such file or directory r8180_pci_init.c:37:20: asm/io.h: No such file or directory etc... I also found in forum a discussion between Anthony Naggs and Aladar Luke that they going to make their own driver for FreeBSD, but I did not found the driver itself. Thanks in advance for any help.

I didn't notice this behaviour with a single IDE drive. Of course it shouldn't be needed, but I would also try to switch to the other channel, and if it works it's probably not wort wasting to much more time on. --=20 Simon L.

I've set up a PXE environment and during kernel initialisation rl0 is recognised but reports: "rl0: unknown device ID: 1400". So I tried putting this device ID into if_rl.c. Now I get: rl0: port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xe5810000 0xe58100ff irq 15 at device 13.0 on pci0 rl0: Ethernet address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 At the end of kernel initialisation I see: Sending DHCP Discover packet from interface rl0 (00:00:00:00:00:00) which is obvious but does not work of course. Any chance of getting this NIC to work? I've got one unit here to test, I've got a DDB kernel at hand but only a PS/2 keyboard and VGA screen to communicate. Please let me know if I need to provide any more information or if I can dig up more details using DDB or a patched kernel.

I see there is a call like this in the source: if (ata_command(atadev, ATA_C_SETFEATURES, 0, 0, ATA_C_F_ENAB_RCACHE, ATA_WAIT_INTR)) ata_prtdev(atadev, "enabling readahead cache failed\n"); Can I trigger that call manually from userland? How can I know whether this call have been executed at all? Long story: On my FreeBSD-4.9 machine I cannot directly play DVDs, the drive is too slow (under FreeBSD), but only occasionally, as in hickups. I can watch DVDs fine with `mplayer -cache 8192`, which will buffer up 8 MB and then playing out of the buffer. However I would prefer to use Xine which doesn't have the buffer option and stutters every few seconds. I can proof that the long-term bandwidth of the drive is enough and that it is actally the drive that is the problem, because this works without stutter: play_title 1 1 | cstream -B 8m -c2 | xine - [ play_title is part of libdvdread and dumps the mpeg streamto stdout, cstream is a stream tool with buffering option ] The same hardware (CPU, Mainboard, IDE-Controller, DVD drive) played fine under Linux with the same version of xine. So I think it is a reasonable assumption that the difference here is that Linux buffers on the driver level (or in the drive) and FreeBSD does not. Hardware: - P3-based Celeron 1300 MHz - P2B mainboard - this drive is on the PIIX4 on-mainboard controller - 384 MB RAM - G-400 32 MB - acd0: DVD-ROM at ata0-slave UDMA33 - (full dmesg on http://wavehh.dyndns.org/tmp/dmesg.boot) On the other channel of the PIIX4 controller is a acd1: CD-RW <32X10> at ata1-master WDMA2 Could the presense of that be responsible for the problems on the first drive?
