Hi misc
I have a server with a on board Symbios Logic 53C1030. I have set up mirroring and tried OpenBSD 3.8. When I start the installer and say I want the whole disk for OpenBSD I can see: "Putting all of sd0 into an active OpenBSD MBR partition (type 'A6')...fdisk:DIOCGDINFO: Input/output error" dmesg output goes here: (sorry for just attaching a part of it. I wrote it down by hand. I can if more is needed fix this.) mpt0 at pci2 dev8 function 0 "Symbios Logic 53c1030" rev 0x08: irq 11 mpt0: IM support: 6 scsibus0 at mpt0: 16 targets sd0(mpt0:0:0): mpt0: timeout on request index=0xfe, seq=0x0000008a mpt0: status 0x00000000, Mask 0x00000001, Doorbell 0x24000000 mpt0: request state: On chip sd0: drive offline However... I can still partion and install the OS (even though it says drive offline). But the last partion in the table "e" which is /home (rest of the disk) failed. When I skipped that I could install the OS. When the OS was up I logged in to try to partition the rest of the disk as /home. When I did a newfs on it it yelled about write error on block xxxxx. If I took a smaller piece for /home it went ok. So far I thougt that there actually was some real error on the disk. So I removed one disk at the time and reinstalled the OS on a single disk. But it seems to yell for write errors on different places (often near the last block). But the OS seems to work OK if only the partitioning for the core OS partitions are OK. When an error comes during a newfs it says: sd0(mpt0:0:0): Check Condition (error 0x70) on opcode 0x2a SENSE KEY: Illegal REquest ASC/ASCQ: ASC 0x21 ASCQ 0x00 And then is also yell about the write error on block xxxx What is happening here?
