Hi, I'm running SMP 3.0-CURRENT from about a week ago, and I've run into problems adding drives to the system... I've just added another 4 aging SCSI drives to the system, which have become sd9, sd10, sd11 & sd12 respectively... The kernel finds them, assigns them their correct sdX number, but I can't use anything above sd9... I've made sure the disks are partitioned and labled (and that all checks out OK), and I've made sure the devices for them exist (e.g. 'cd /dev;sh MAKEDEV sd9;sh MAKEDEV sd9s1c' etc. (I'm using all the disks in 'dedicated' mode)... Basically the same procedure which has worked for sd0 through sd9 doesn't appear to work for sd10... Although I can see the fdisk and disklabel output any attempt to access the drive either results in 'device not configured' or 'input / output error'. I can post all the info (dmesg, kernel config, disklabel / fdisk output etc.) - but the email would be over 200 lines, so I thought I'd ask first... (If anyone is willing to help I can post the whole lot to them private mail)... The system is running SMP and I wire down the SCSI drives (in case that matters)... Is there some default limit for the number of sdX devices I should change? - or is someone going to tell me their hex or something (e.g. sdas1e <g>) Regards, Karl Pielorz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
