hi, i was testing out a compact flash to ide adapter for use in a freebsd box. it seems that the device will not work when the disk is formatted with UFS or whatever the default type freebsd uses. i have tested the adapter under windows xp and formatted the card as fat32. all went well. i then rebooted back to freebsd and was able to use the card just fine when i mounted it using mount_msdos. but after reformatting to UFS the card failed to work. once formatted i am able to mount the card just fine. i can create files on it and even make directories. but when i go to copy a bunch of files to it using cpio, cp, or cpdup (from ports) it does the following: ad3: timeout waiting for DRQ - resetting ata1: resetting devices.. the machine is then pretty much frozen for a good 15 minutes, then it resumes operation but the CF device cannot be used again. i can't even do simple operations on it like mkdir. the converter i have is: http://www.idot.com/TheStore/Desktop/687Spec.asp?Product.id=687&Cate.id=11&Product.status=green and i have tried both a type I (8meg) and type II (320meg) card. any ideas as to why it functions just fine when formatted as fat32 but not UFS? thanks much, -randall -- :// randall s. ehren :// voice 805.893.5632 :// systems administrator :// isber|survey|avss.ucsb.edu :// institute for social, behavioral, and economic research To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
