-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hello list. After debugging this with a few friends who are by far more experience di= n=20 freebsd than I am, I have been asked to report the following strange=20 behaviour to this list He asked me to be specific, so I am going to provide a much information a= s I=20 can. The hardware used is as follows: ASUS CUSL Motherboard 2 Hard drives=20 On the primary Master a Maxtor 53073U6 30736 MB ioctl (I am in linux) reports the following geometry for it: geometry =3D 3736/255/63, sectors =3D 60030432, start =3D 0 =20 The second hard drive on the secondary Master channel is a IBM DTLA-30703= 0=20 also 30736 MB. ioctl reports the following geometry for this drive: geometry =3D 3737/255/63, sectors =3D 60036480, start =3D 0 =20 I have downloaded the 4.3 boot floppies from ftp.at.freebsd.org and then=20 booted my system. After entering the installer friend told me to press scroll lock and scr= oll=20 up to see the actual output of the Kernel. The output for the drives reads as follows: ad0 2014 MB <Maxtor 53073U6> [4092/16/63] at at-0-master UDMA66 ad2 29314 MB <IBM DTLA-307030> [5956/16/63 at at-1-master UDMA100 As you can see the first drive is not recognized at all, the second drive= is=20 almost missing a gigabyte (yes I know the drive looses space due to=20 formatting but still some space is missing) The first drive is recognized correctly by the bios it operates in UDMA m= ode=20 4 (66) The second drive is also recognized correctly by the bios it operates in = UDMA=20 mode 5 (100). The BIOS for this motherboard is up to date, I checked with the vendor. I= =20 have ran several test on the drives and their logic, both drives are 100%= =20 operational. For both drives SMART monitoring is enabled.=20 Thank you very much, since I am not subscribed to this list a CC to my=20 private mail would be very nice, yet I will make sure to check via the we= b. Thank you and I hope this helps, FreeBSD looks interesting to me and I re= ally=20 would like using it along with my linux setup. - -d --=20 si vis pacem, para bellum - ---- 'Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love. - - Hamelt, Shakespear -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iQNmBAEUAwAGBQI7FPQiAAoJENYKnjdA0qXChc8NIK7hwJQ843iqUm8s7wEcJObC ihUPw1KiaTZKe0jH3FTkKomzNoiyphiHXo6KUg1/yMYLheUuI66uBCXtdX7jiya4 CXbcVrT4/HZKvXncp6vQ+K27Vf7WG1Z7nF3pTVQxjgqqEiFNmXy2Nw+Rfartydah VWNxlr+E+/LGRhwQdRnT/0uhxYF2uXdNTsqnRhFJ8Gdh0n9Kpa7GazUtWQz7P94A Qt/xAFs5G3egK7mXH5neNx7MOwW+4RB8L4qe+f5rcPzPVKg6c1RKU8hYDcRXoUeH LpQ1wH5YJnkZowrvdEkmNFfXYzpSnJd1mjN/6qgsQRKLe09ckXsUCJ7UUGXyzRLO klbL25igOn105rXs0shLZTHluhitfCFHcWM4Y8HRTyGX2FvbV7yIJ8uUkO7emHy9 OdbF6Ic3TfN2cyguro3umFD7931bclCb3XA22vUfEJS3QkXn9N1l9Ih/Pn+VQCLj jqfj9J+uxNnrUOm1BnSzA/lPfeXp53YoTZTQaGWuIVMceFufNNRgnE/BSeFgyS9m yAr7hWWqE5fDZ1NTdN3RVK0+Ng0dHxMTP8uDqLUOcAj5Vs9sJfd3QjmeaZy7GlWX bBDMHuu1MUqwmUNrq5YX98V7WogPJXqWL1Jm1CGsA1lw+xmo3hFdL3jWkik90Vfi u+z30F03GRFXx+8YumBa+yQ6HuDMAm9DPkwq4M5fxT9+GiXiFZkS1dPpogzO3Fzn CN4Q6Xgv1F9HaFiJ9e1AcEKzq5scOvrO3BsLgFvlFM0TG7vj7wu1acjkxYA4Kb+i 8DN3dErd23dR6xrCPMLD1NWAmICQoIzvsZH3afgT1toyytJBXISkP67FO1N3UvMT iqBE9boo40xZm2p0FOXdiOZlUeuYJd6g2yl5CKjQAuietDQhANFckHnpW/5caPxc uXQjX9Wt0SRZe27CIuEU/S8dB1tXTGnSePENlYgTdpbI6HiEgqY08H0opFGi50xo ZfmeAwCNQBe5JNhIciL/WQ0dSDU+AU2z43qv0B4tO/dCYmFbwSR9PZBMHsoihF8U D7SJq7pVCrskQ3VLS0pcwMK7R9U0SeEn0FnjEIVrB5PcvYfzWlACPJWxspmVfZG9 ieSOejrRjs2b =3DWMiv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
