I have tried two CDROM drive : "HITACHI model CDR-7730" and "SAMSUNG SCR-243", but I have the same problem I get the next error messages after mounting: #mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom acd0 : TIMEOUT-READ_BIG retrying (1 retry left) acd0 : TIMEOUT-READ_BIG retrying ((0 retries left) acd0: FAILURE-READ timed out g_vfs_done(): acd0[READ(offset=34816, length=2048)] error=5 mount_cd9660: /dec/acd0: input/output error I have tried several CD disks and also " kldload atapicam" and "hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 et 1 but I get the same kind of message: "g_vsf_done(): acd0[READ(offset ...etc" The error messages happend especially if one want to copy a big file from the cdrom drive to a harddisk.

It seems that the long delay is somehow related with the system trying to mount the SATA drive (ads4a). What is strange is that: a) A SATA-300 drive/controller are seen as SATA-150 and b) That the floppy drive goes active during this long pause as the system "hunts" to mount the drive. Does any of this make sense to you hardware/driver geniuses out there? Other than these two boot-time problems, the system appears to be stable and work well. I'm just concenred I have to way during each boot and am not able to get full drive/controller performance.

I'v configured and intialized my array in BIOS, and boot from cd of 6.2-RELEASE. My problem is that altought the 63XXESB I/O controller recongnized during boot, the RAID array isn't appear as a device in partition list (ie: no ar0 device appears, only ad4,6,8,10). The situation was exactly the same with STABLE and CURRENT also. I found only one relevant post in the list, but this one is deal with RAID1 config with two disks, so it isn't sufficent for me. Anyway, it didn't work with my motherboard... (http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-hardware/2005-April/002486.html) My question is that is there any patch or something (ie: planned to include in a future relase) to solve this problem, or I did something wrong? Any help about this topic is appreciated.

Do you really need 8 > seperate disks? I use software raid for a variety of reasons including: - can put in disks on other controllers, such as in an emergency put a P-ATA disk as a replacement. - working SMART. - more control, no "black box". - buying one hardware raid controller is a joke from a reliability standpoint, you'd need a second one on the shelf. - freedom to move to a different controller. To my knowledge none of the hardware raid makers obey to the common disk file format, not even optionally. Neither does software raid, but software raid doesn't bind me to a piece of hardware. - as you mentioned, without the battery backup the cache on the controller would have to be write-through, which disabled much of the advantage of the thing. I found the performance with modern CPUs to be more than sufficient, even on raid-5 writes. http://cracauer-forum.cons.org/forum/raid.html The thing that I'm trying to solve is not speed as such. What goes on my nerves is that I can't have NCQ on the NVidia SATA ports, and hence have to use the disk's write cache. Also, boards with more than 4 ports usually only have 4 ports on the primary controller and the rest of the ports are on some 32bit/33MHz PCI bus piece of junk like the Promise 3112. Hence, a dumb but decent 8-port controller would give me what I want.
