Hello All:
I'm setting up a small fileserver at home running 5.4-RELEASE. I'm =
booting from a small IDE hard drive and have installed a SiI3112 =
controller and a pair of SATA drives for data storage. Before starting I =
flashed the controller with latest firmware (4.2.77) and performed a =
low-level format and burn-in test on both SATA drives (Maxtor 7L300S0's) =
using Maxtor's PowerMAX 4.22 diagnostic utilities. The burn-in tests ran =
two full passes (approx. 8 hours) on each drive without errors so I am =
reasonably sure the drives are working correctly.
I then did the following:
atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6
bsdlabel -w /dev/ar0
newfs -O2 -U -b32768 -f4096 -g8388608 -h16 -ospace /dev/ar0a
So far so good, but when I do this:
mount /dev/ar0a /data
I get this:
ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=3D24016
Some quick questions:
1) Are these SiI3112 controllers any good? I have the option of using a =
HighPoint HPT372 instead but was planning to use that elsewhere.
2) Would upgrading to something newer than 5.4-RELEASE help with this =
issue?
DMESG below...
TIA,
RPK.
