Hi, I've two drives from FreeBSD 4.9 days that I'd like to recover from under 9.1. My drives are Seagate ST380013AS that once upon a time were in a raid under windows. There was a promise tx2200 card in the box but the drives were attached directly to the motherboard. FreeBSD was installed as root on an ide drive and the SATA drives were used as just data disks (maybe a swap file on one drive). Unfortunately after powering on for the first time in a couple of years my boot drive appears to be toast. And the SATA drives don't appear to be mountable under 9.1.
Kernel boot shows messages like this ada0: <ST380013AS 3.19> ATA-6 SATA 1.x device ada0: 150.000MB/s transfers (SATA, UDMA5, PIO 8192bytes) ada0: 76319MB (156301488 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C) ada0: Previously was known as ad4 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus4 target 0 lun 0 da0: <General USB Flash Disk 1100> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers da0: 7680MB (15728640 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 979C) Root mount waiting for: GRAID REPEATED MANY TIMES Root mount waiting for: GRAID GEOM_RAID: Promise: Force volume start due to timeout.

And if so how do I mount to recover the data? If I recall correctly for both drives I'd use the entire disk for a partition. I have two of these drives and have powered only one up at boot. Thanks for any ideas on recovery! _______________________________________________ freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hardware-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
