I have a Gigabyte AM2 mobo with an AMD64 X2 CPU installed. The SCIS set up looks lie this: 29160N <--> da0 <--> da1 da0 has a 32-bit installation of FBSD-8 da1 has a 64-bit installtion of FBSD-8 If I install 4GB of memory (4 DIMMs) in the system I see the following behavior: a) booting from da0 works just fine and I can access both disks without any problem. b) booting from da1 results in (apparent) data errors such that /bin/sh dies with SIGILL and /rescue/sh dies with SIGSEGV. c) trying to do an installation of a snapshot of FBSD-8 to a SCSI disk results in various problems, among others a kernel panic in ffs_balloc during newfs. d) an installation to a SATA disk succeeds and the system runs just fine. With only 3GB of memory everything works. Of course, I'd really like to be able to use the entire 4GB. And I want to keep my SCSI disks. I suspect that ahc has some sort of problem in 64-bit mode. However, I'm not certain whether the 32-bit installation works with 4GB simply because the ahc driver uses bounce buffers. Has anybody else seen this? Can anyone confirm that ahc does indeed have an error with 4GB and a 64-bit installation?

If it doesn't work now then it's due to some sort of bitrot. I can try to test and debug it myself, but I'm pretty overcommitted so I can't guarantee that I'll get to it.

I would expect the 64-bit installation to work with 4GB, if anything does. Does the 32-bit version use bounce buffers? I'll try poking around some, but the 64-bit install is my (money earning) work station and I can't afford to trash it, so I'm sort of unwilling to risk it.

So running in 64-bit mode with only 4GB of RAM will still exercise the >4GB bugs. Let me think on where to point you for debugging... The ahc cards don't normally use bounce buffers; they are designed to handle up to 2^39 bytes of RAM directly.

And you're correct, part of the memory was mapped from 0x100000000 to 0x11ffeffff. I was thinking about getting the Adaptec 29320LPE, which is a PCIe x1 card. Think that would have problems with 4GB? That would be the ahd driver, I believe. --- Gary Jennejohn From owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Feb 1 09:53:57 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: scsi@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 266CC16A419; Fri, 1 Feb 2008 09:53:57 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from des@des.no) Received: from tim.des.no (tim.des.no [194.63.250.121]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DBBFD13C46B; Fri, 1 Feb 2008 09:53:56 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from des@des.no) Received: from tim.des.no (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by spam.des.no (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0DD222088; Fri, 1 Feb 2008 10:36:39 +0100 (CET) X-Spam-Tests: AWL X-Spam-Learn: disabled X-Spam-Score: -0.2/3.0 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.3 (2007-08-08) on tim.des.no Received: from ds4.des.no (des.no [80.203.243.180]) by smtp.des.no (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8A6A32087; Fri, 1 Feb 2008 10:36:38 +0100 (CET) Received: by ds4.des.no (Postfix, from userid 1001) id 73542844A1; Fri, 1 Feb 2008 10:36:38 +0100 (CET) From: =?utf-8?Q?Dag-Erling_Sm=C3=B8rgrav?= To: scsi@freebsd.org, usb@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2008 10:36:38 +0100 Message-ID: <86ir19vx09.fsf@ds4.des.no> User-Agent: Gnus/5.110006 (No Gnus v0.6) Emacs/22.1 (berkeley-unix) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Cc: Subject: SMART over USB X-BeenThere: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: SCSI subsystem List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2008 09:53:57 -0000 Consider a PATA or SATA disk attached over USB. AFAIK, the USB mass storage protocol is basically SCSI over USB. Is there a way to access the disk's SMART data over SCSI / USB? Perhaps as mode pages? Has anyone tried this? The reason I'm asking is this: http://www.sharkoon.com/html/produkte/externe_gehaeuse/sata_quickport/index= .html This could be extremely useful to quickly extract SMART error logs from failing disks after you've replaced them, not to mention wipe them before RMAing them. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an eSATA connector.

I have on-board LSI Logic 1030 SCSI Ultra4 Adapter, on it I have attached two IBM Ultra-320 SCSI 36GB disks. See the dmesg output: ... mpt0: port 0xb000-0xb0ff mem 0xf5010000-0xf501ffff,0xf5000000-0xf500ffff irq 32 at device 3.0 on pci4 mpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED] mpt0: MPI Version=1.2.14.0 mpt0: Capabilities: ( RAID-1 SAFTE ) mpt0: 1 Active Volume (1 Max) mpt0: 2 Hidden Drive Members (6 Max) ... da1 at mpt0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 da1: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da1: 3.300MB/s transfers, Tagged Queueing Enabled da1: 34702MB (71071560 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 4424C) ... It is showing that logical device da1 has only 3.3MB/s transfer rate!? Before the upgrade it was showing the correct 320MB/s. After a few quick disk test I can confirm that it is running slower than before (but not as slow as 3.3MB/s). Is there something wrong with the mpt driver in 6.3? And also, is there any utility to access LSI Logic 1030 BIOS under freeBSD? Thanks for help! -- Kind regards, Marko Kobal.
