Subject:   Trouble adding second SCSI drive
Message-ID:  <3A8F3D55.E2E0A398@tclme.org>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm having trouble configuring a second SCSI drive on the same chain as
the boot drive.   I can low level format from Adaptec's boot-time
utility, but cannot configure the drive for use under FreeBSD 4.2
STABLE.  The drives worked under Linux as well as Windows NT.

The controller is an Adaptec 2940UW.

From dmesg:

da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <IBM DGVS09U 0110> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16 bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da0: 8705MB (17829870 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1109C)
da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
da1: <IBM DDRS-31930W S71D> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da1: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16 bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da1: 8715MB (17850000 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 111C)

Using camcontrol:

schmoo# camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3
camcontrol: cam_real_open_device: couldn't open passthrough device
/dev/pass1
cam_real_open_device: Operation not permitted

Using dd:

schmoo# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rda1 count=2
dd: /dev/rda1: Operation not permitted

Using fdisk:

schmoo# fdisk -BI da1
fdisk: can't open device /dev/da1
fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/da1: Operation not permitted

Using /stand/sysinstall

Disklabel, Fdisk, Label and Partition all return the message: "No disks
found! Please verify that your disk controller is being probed at boot
time..."

I've seen similar questions on DejaNews, but haven't seen any
responses.  Other than not being able to expand the storage, everything
runs swell.

Any ideas?
