Hi,

I have just recompiled my kernel (cvsup'ed c. 05:00GMT 9th April 2002
along
with source for buildworld 4.5-STABLE) but am experiencing problems
accessing the sub-disks attached to my Promise Ultra66 U-DMA IDE PCI
Controller*.

The filesystems are as follows [df]:


Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a  26203348   473772 23633310     2%    /
/dev/ad6s1e  16732016  2660680 12732776    17%    /home
/dev/ad4s1e  16732016  2285134 13108322    15%    /usr
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc

[dmesg]

ad0: 27199MB <ST328040A> [55262/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66
ar0: 16603MB <ATA RAID1 array> [2116/255/63] subdisks:
  ad6: 16603MB <Maxtor 91731U4> [33735/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA66
  ad4: 16603MB <Maxtor 91731U4> [33735/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA66


Where ad0s1a is a Seagate drive attached to the *motherboard* IDE
controller.
ad6s1e  is a Maxtor drive attached to one channel on the Ultra66
ad4s1e  is another Maxtor drive attached to the other channel on the
Ultra66


You can see that I'm not using software R.A.I.D.

Anyway on reboot I get the following message:

Can't open /dev/ad6s1e: Device busy
/dev/ad6s1e: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM
/dev/ad6s1e: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY

...

[this is repeated for ad4s1e as well]

THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEMS HAD AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY:
    /dev/ad6s1e (/home), /dev/ad4s1e (/usr)


It doesn't seem to be allowing access to my subdisks.
I've looked at my kernel config and cannot see any changes I could make
that
would make a difference.
Looking at usenet on Google, it seems the ATA code has changed recently,
is
this a consequence of this and does anyone have any suggestions for me.

Thanks for your time,


Clive

*Ultra66 U-DMA IDE PCI Controller is just a IDE card and offers no RAID
capability (although I know it can be hacked to become FastTrak Card,
but I
haven't done that to this card)
