I installed FreeBSD 4.2 via FTP and used CVS to update, build, and install
new binaries and a new (custom) kernel. The machine has an Adaptec 3950B
SCSI card, one 4 GB IDE hard drive (boot and system drive), and five 18.3 GB
IBM SCSI drives (for data, hot-swappable). This computer is to be our
fileserver. Whenever I try to do anything that writes to the SCSI drives
(/dev/da{0-4}) I get "OPERATION NOT PERMITTED" as an error message. I can
read from the drive just fine using dd:
dd if=/dev/da0 of=junkfile bs=1024 count=1024
But if I try anything to write to the drive, it fails. Any clue why? I'd
appreciate your help.
