atacontrol reinit
Hi, How do I accomplish atacontrol reinit in 9.0 with ATA_CAM enabled? Plugged drives don't show up without a reboot and camcontrol reset or rescan does not help.

atacontrol spindown 0 does not work
Hello, I don't like to hear the spin down from my hard drive, it does it every 10 seconds approximately. I used ataidle -P 0 /dev/ad0 to disable it and it works. When I saw there was a atacontrol command for this, I tried it, so I removed ataidle and I tried : markand@Melon ~ $ sudo atacontrol spindown ad0 0 markand@Melon ~ $ sudo atacontrol spindown ad0 ad0: idle spin down disabled But I can still hear the noise every 10 seconds, I think atacontrol does not totally close the APM feature of the device. Do you have any clue?

Re: atacontrol spindown
Hi, Daniel, It must be periodic(8), but I have trouble identifying what exactly could be the trigger. If I look at /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, it has daily_clean_disks_enable="NO". With respect to daily checks, I just have the default setup, nothing that I added myself. Are there any other configuration options that I should look at?

atacontrol spindown
Hi, With FreeBSD 7.1 I've started using atacontrol spindown for my secondary disks (i.e. disks that are accessed very infrequently). Everything seemed to work nice until I noticed in my "daily security run output" list of kernel messages that suggests that disks get awaken every night at 3 am. Could someone suggest what could trigger my disks to wake up? BTW, I am not running smartd daemon, so that cannot be an issue.

atacontrol + highpoint raid & hot-swappable bays = reboot?
Hello list,
I've come upon a problem I've googled the daylights out of, further I've read
atacontrol(8) up and down without success. My goal is simple, I have a
supermicro 1U with hot-swappable drive bays which hold 2 SATA drives that are
connected to a PCI highpoint rocket raid card. I need to be able to simulate a
failure on HDD1 (drive bay 2) and I've been trying to do it by following the
handbook here: [18.4.3]
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/raid.html to no avail.
atacontrol detach ata3
atacontrol attach ata3
atacontrol addspare ar0 ata3
Now this is when I encounter a "Device Busy" error. In order to recover from
this I've tried detaching and attaching to no avail, rebooting just makes
atacontrol status ar0 only show disk 1 even though disk 2 (ata3) is listed in
atacontrol list.
See below for a transcript from the shell, hopefully someone can provide some
insight before I flip out. :)

atacontrol software or hardware raid
How can I detect if system has Software or hardware raid? Since in manual page: The atacontrol command can also be used to create purely software RAID arrays in systems that do NOT have a "real" hardware RAID card such as a Highpoint or Promise card. A common scenario is a 1U server such as the HP DL320 G4 or G5. These servers contain a SATA controller that has 2 channels that can contain 2 disks per channel, but the servers are wired to only place a single SATA drive on each channel. Or how can I find out if the hardware is "real" hardware RAID card? For example my system has following dmesg output: ad4: 152627MB at ata2-master SATA300 ad6: 152627MB at ata3-master SATA300 ar0: 152625MB status: READY ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad6 at ata3-master ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad4 at ata2-master This system is an intel server with S3210SH server board in it. While installing system I see ad4,ad6 and ar0 as harddrives in sysinstall. I choose to install ar0. Additionally as far as I see ar0 is very susceptible to errors since a single CRC error can break the RAID consistency is that normal? I really appreciate those who uses such a kind of RAID1 Regards. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

What went wrong? Or, please point out what I missed. :confused: I've tried setting the SATA type in BIOS to either "Native IDE" or "AHCI" modes.

When I do the "atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6" command and then "atacontrol status ar0", it reports that ar0 is READY, but when I reboot, it's gone. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help-with%3A--atacontrol-create-RAID1-ad4-ad6-tp21511186p21511186.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

RE: atacontrol rebuild on non-identical disks
I didn't see a response and this is an old one, you probably fixed it by now. You will need to dd the old disk to a new one then get an identical to the new one and raid them. Of course if the new one is larger you will still have the existing smaller partition table. If it was me I would build a new server and ship it UPS ground out there. Your existing disk is probably about ready to fail too, and both disks probably died due to overheating caused by one or more fan failures, and if your power supply fan gets choked with dust, it's a goner then the supply will burn up. I would guess the inside of that server is pretty filthy about now.

High disk load +mount/atacontrol/NFS/SMBFS crashes the system
Hello. I have experienced the following problem a couple of times in 2 different machines and FreeBSD versions (see below): when the disk is continuously reading/writing my system becomes unstable (it's not an everyday thing, but quite frustrating when it happens) and sometimes crashes. When copying from another machine by NFS/SMBFS more than one file at the same time (or when using the disk, like during a filesystem check in the background) often crashes (and the disk light indicator turns off). Running "atacontrol ad0 mode UDMA100" when it was UDMA133 crashed the system (the disk activity indicator was always on) when I tried to solve the problem that way. Also when I was installing a port which installs many files on the second machine without using NFS/SMBFS, trying to mount a local NTFS filesystem (with kernel driver) crashed. The first machine is an Athlon XP 2400+ with FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE and custom kernel (see below) and the second one a new Athlon64 X2 3500 with FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE running in i386 mode, with generic SMP kernel. See the boot messages and kernel config here: http://people.freebsd.org/~alepulver/disk-crash.tar.bz2 Also I got (only twice, when checking the filesystem after one of these crashes) the following error on the first machine, that I don't know if it's related or not to the previous problems: fsync: giving up on dirty 0xc51d6990: tag devfs, type VCHR usecount 1, writecount 0, refcount 806 mountedhere 0xc51a4000 flags () v_object 0xc144cb58 ref 0 pages 3232 lock type devfs: EXCL (count 1) by thread 0xc54e2c00 (pid 837) dev ad2s1f I would appreciate any help.

I remember this is working but there was a reporting problem in atacontrol. You should easily be able to tell whether it is on or off by the write performance.

Disk write caching, hw.ata.wc and atacontrol disagree
I'm trying to turn off the evil data corrupting on-disk write cache. I added hw.ata.wc=0 to /boot/loader.conf and rebooted. # sysctl hw.ata.wc hw.ata.wc: 0 So far so good. But! atacontrol cap ad4 says: Feature Support EnableValue Vendor write cacheyes yes So hw.ata.wc thinks that the disk write cache is off, but atacontrol cap thinks the disk write cache is on? If it matters: AMD64, nforce4, Seagate SATA 7200.8, FreeBSD 6.0 Beta3 So then I boot NetBSD and turn the write caches off with dkctl $disk setcache r and reboot FreeBSD and now I get Feature Support EnableValue Vendor write cacheyes no It appears that if hw.ata.wc = 1 then FreeBSD turns the write cache on, and if hw.ata.wc = 0 then FreeBSD leaves the write cache alone? Is there a way to have FreeBSD turn the write cache OFF? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Atacontrol software RAID
Hi all, I've been trying to build a 2 disk mirror with atacontrol on a standard IDE controller (testing in vmware), from an already running 4.11 system. ad0 has the system, ad3 is the new drive. I thought I should be able to mimic the gmirror trick of making a 1 disk degraded mirror on ad3, move everything over to the raid, wipe ad0 and add it to the mirror. # atacontrol create RAID1 ad3 fails. needs @ least 2 disksso #atacontrol created RAID1 ad3 ad3 did the trick ;) - after a reboot it became : ar0: WARNING - mirror lost ar0: 6143MB [783/255/63] status: DEGRADED subdisks: 0 DOWN 1 READY ad3: 6143MB [12483/16/63] at ata1-slave UDMA33 and I could use ar0 as i'd expect it to (could boot off it, moved all the data from ad0 to ar0, mounted all partitions from it,etc). The problem happened when I tried to add ad0 to the mirror...i couldn't find a way to do it. atacontrol addspare is not available in 4.x systems... Any suggestions on how to get ad0 to be part of ar0? Upgrading to 5.x may be an option, but then i'd be using gmirror anyway :-) thanks in advance, Beto ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

RE: Promise TX2 Rebuild via atacontrol??
I apologize...I usually am the one complaining to others about versioning...my bad... I do not think that the drive is at fault as much as the controller. I have had to deploy well over one hundred of the exact same configuration, and historically, it's always been the controller that just drops the drive for some reason. I usually end up re-mirroring the array on the old "dead" drive and the system will continue on its merry way (last one is over 1 year old since last resync)...hence you see why I am curious if I could just use atacontrol instead of taking the unit offline and spending 45min waiting for the resync TECHNOJARGON BELOW FBSD 5.3 STABLE Promise TX2 Orig BIOS ad4: 114473MB [232581/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 ad6: 114473MB [232581/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA100 ar0: 114440MB [14589/255/63] status: READY subdisks: disk0 READY on ad4 at ata2-master disk1 READY on ad6 at ata3-master Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ar0s1a ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=5861119 ad4: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA timed out ar0: WARNING - mirror lost -Original Message- From: Emanuel Strobl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 4:15 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Promise TX2 Rebuild via atacontrol??

Problems with dump of an atacontrol-ed RAID1 array
I have an ICH6 SATA RAID controller that I have set up with atacontrol to behave as a RAID1 array. The array (ar0) consists of ad4 and ad6. Last night I started a dump like so: # dump -0Luaf /dev/da0s1 / to *hopefully* dump my root filesystem (ar0s1a) to a usb storage device. Now here is where things get a little fuzzy... The dump started just fine, and I was able to stick around until dump reported that it was about 10% done. At that point, I left for the night and then woke up to calls from users saying that they couldn't access services on that box. When I got to the terminal, I noticed that the last couple of dump's output messages on screen had to do with being unable to read from ar0s1a. I hit ^C to kill the dump and was asked if I wanted to abort. I said yes and that was the end of that terminal. I couldn't Alt+Fx or ssh in, so I had to power down the machine and bring it back up. When I did, ar0 was gone! So obviously the boot process told me it couldn't find its root filesystem and asked me for another one. I gave it ad4s1a and the machine came up just fine, albeit without RAID. So... has anyone had any experience with this? Does a rigged atacontrol software RAID not play well with a dump? I'm trying to figure out: a) why my dump failed b) why my ar0 RAID array was destroyed in the process I described above Lastly, if anyone with experience with atacontrol can tell me the best way to rebuild my array without losing any data. I *think* that I need to just create an "array" that only consists of one of my two drives (probably ad4 since its the one that's live right now), then add a hotspare (ad6), and rebuild. Is that right? The only real step I'm worried about is the "atacontrol create" statement, because I'm afraid it will wipe the drive right off the bat.

Problems with atacontrol and Hightpoint 730 raid Hardware. 5.2 release.
Hi all, i'm experiencing some problems with FreeBsd 5.2 and an Highpoint raid controller (but it happens also with a promise Fasttrack TX2). I'm pretty sure it's my failure, but i can't understand what i miss. I'm doing this test on 5.x because i plan to migrate from 4.x to new release as soon as it'll released as a production platform, so i need as much informations as i can. I've done a lot of test: 1- the first test was done creating a RAID 1 array directly from HPT Bios. I've two devices ad4 and ad6 and a raid one ar0 as i expect. ATA channel 2: Master: ad4 ATA/ATAPI rev 7 Slave: no device present ATA channel 3: Master: ad6 ATA/ATAPI rev 7 Slave: no device present arc# atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad4 ad6 status: READY I've installed *BSD successfully without any flaws, rebooted, and all was working fine. Then i tried a failure problem on ad4, i've simulated it detaching the ata channel: atacontrol detach 2. And i've got a degraded array (that's fine). arc# atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: DOWN ad6 status: DEGRADED Then i detach physically the drive replacing it with a new one (supposed the procedure to substitute a failure HDD).Attached it to channel 2. arc# atacontrol attach 2 Master: ad4 ATA/ATAPI rev 7 Slave: no device present and then looking at the raid status: arc# atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: DOWN ad6 status: DEGRADED All as it was planned. Now i've tried to rebuild the raid, and here we are with problems: arc# atacontrol rebuild ar0 arc# arc# arc# atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: DOWN ad6 status: DEGRADED The rebuild command quits immediatly rebuilding almost nothing. And the raid was still in degraded mode. Ok. Pherhaps i made a mistake attaching the drive and not attaching a spare drive. To avoid any problem i've reinstalled all from scrath and execute all the operations except the atacontrol attach. Then.. manpages for atacontrol reports: atacontrol addspare raid disk So, it was supposed to add the channel and then add disk to raid: new disk as master arc# atacontrol attach 2 Master: ad4 ATA/ATAPI rev 7present Slave: no device arc# atacontrol addspare ar0 ad4 atacontrol: ioctl(ATARAIDADDSPARE): Device busy and as slave. arc# atacontrol attach 2 Master: no device present Slave: ad5 ATA/ATAPI rev 7 arc# atacontrol addspare ar0 ad5 atacontrol: ioctl(ATARAIDADDSPARE): Device busy So... what the hell i've got to do to rebuild the array??? Obviously when i reboot, HPT Bios ask for replacing failure drive, and ask for rebuild... blocking the machine for more than 40 minutes... and this is not acceptable for me. The hardware is a KD7 RAID with Highpoint 730 controller, Duron 1600. Two 80 Gb Maxtor 7200 Rpm 8 Mb. Any Idea?

However, today I got a report about a degraded disk array so I went to check and found something rather odd: $ atacontrol list ATA channel 0: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 1: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 2: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 3: Master: ad6 ATA/ATAPI rev 5 Slave: ad7 ATA/ATAPI rev 5 $ atacontrol status 0 ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad6 ad7 status: DEGRADED How can a RAID array be degraded when both disks are still there? How do I figure out what disk holds the current set of data? And what do I need to do, anyway? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

RAID with atacontrol
Hi Does anybody know if it's possible to create a RAID1 array on disks with data on them without destroying the data on them? My reason for doing this is that I have to disks that I run in an existing Promise Fasttrack100 RAID1 array, but I want to use the RAID controller in another machine. Then I heard that FreeBSD supports Promise RAID1 arrays in the kernel meaning that I can make RAID1 arrays without using a Promise RAID controller.

Questions about bootable raid 1 using atacontrol.
Hi, I have a server running 4.8 on a single disk. I'd like to set it up to mirror and be bootable. Killer performance isn't critical, but maximal flexibility to frankenstein it together from spare parts is. So, I'm shying away from hardware raids, and even the pseudo-hardware raids. I'd like to just stuff two ata drives in there and use atacontrol to set them up. I gather that I can't just cram a second disk into the existing system, rather I'll have to do dumps to somewhere, set up a raid, disklabel/newfs, then restore the dumps onto the raid. Is that an accurate summary. Once it's running, how do I recover if/when a disk pukes. It sounds like atacontrol's "rebuild" command only works w/ real controllers. Do I need to boot from a cd and then dd onto the new disk, or??? Do I need to add the new disk into the raid somehow?

No.
Look at the line where it happened:
> 356 sp = &ssp->dss_slices[slice];
Now look at ssp:
> ssp = (struct diskslices *) 0x0
ssp is taken indirectly from sspp:
> 355 ssp = *sspp;
So the caller is passing invalid data in sspp. That's potentially
Vinum; you need to get those symbols loaded and find out what Vinum is
doing.
To the rest of -questions: is this interesting? If not, I'll take it

I have been looking at this page, and I'm not clear what else is needed, or what
you mean by "bringing life into them". I followed the steps to analyse a kernel
panic, and provided the output... unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to
fix it myself.

I provided this output in gdb.txt - the code and locals for frame 6 are:
(kgdb) f 6
#6 0xc0220332 in dsioctl (dev=0xc1383200, cmd=0x8004646d, data=0xcb307d58
"\001", flags=0x2, sspp=0xc1328568)
at ../../kern/subr_diskslice.c:356
356 sp = &ssp->dss_slices[slice];
(kgdb) l
351 struct diskslices *ssp;
352 struct partition *pp;
353
354 slice = dkslice(dev);
355 ssp = *sspp;
356 sp = &ssp->dss_slices[slice];
357 lp = sp->ds_label;
358 switch (cmd) {
359
360 case DIOCGDVIRGIN:
cmd = 0x0
data = 0xcb307d58 "\001"
flags = 0x2
error = 0xcb307d58
lp = (struct disklabel *) 0x
old_wlabel = 0x0
openmask = 0x4b
part = 0x2
slice = 0x2
sp = (struct diskslice *) 0x8c

I must admit, I was a little confused as to why cmd was suddenly 0x0 considering
that dsioctl was called with cmd = 0x8004646d, but as I'm no kernel hacker
there's probably a very good reason for it! Is it possible it's being
overwritten and that's why we panic?

You should consider getting a different MUA.

This is different from the other crash. It looks like it happens in
Vinum. Take a look at vinum(4) or
http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html for details of how to
bring life into them.

Re: PANIC: vinum / atacontrol (5.0-STABLE / 4.8-RC2)
Hi Greg
I will be able to analyse the 5.0-stable panic a little more when I get home.
In the meantime I've been doing simliar tests with 4.8-RC2. I get slightly more
progress, but still a panic at the end.
Sequence of events:
1, create volume, 2 plexes on 2 disks
2, vinum stop volume.p1
3, atacontrol detach 1 (drive b)
4, atacontrol attach 1 - this WORKS, doesn't panic like 5.0-STABLE
5, vinum start volume.p1
As before, I have a debug kernel and core dump. I can't seem to configure my
mailer to not wrap lines, so I've posted all relevant information to
http://web.hisser.org/vinum/4.8-crash/ . They are plain text files.
The kenel is panicking in dsioctl(), kern/subr_diskslice.c:356. I've had a look
in there, but I really have no idea what it's trying to do - I can't even work
out what the ioctl is. I'm no kernel guy :(
I appreciate this may not be a bug in Vinum, but it certainly seems like it's
being triggered by vinum. I can access the drive, query the disklabel, and
format the partition after the attach - it's only when I restart the plex does
it panic.
If I detach the plex before removing it, I get the same panic in dsioctl() when
I re-attach the plex, without even getting the opportunity to start the plex.
I would love to be able to help get this working, as I'm unable to hotswap at
all in Linux, which is what has made me move to FreeBSD.
Thanks
James

Apparently. There was a time when people claimed that ATA drives
couldn't be hot swapped, but that seems to be incorrect nowadays.

The trap occurred between frames 12 and 13 at address 0xc873faa0, in
the ATA code. Depending on your prowess with kernel code, you may be
able to find out what has gone wrong. I'd be inclined to look at
frame 13:
(gdb) f 13 select frame
(gdb) llist the code
(gdb) i locshow local variables
My guess is that something has not been initialized. It's probably
worth submitting a bug report.

PANIC: vinum / atacontrol (5.0-STABLE)
Hi
I am trying to configure hotswap-raid and vinum on my machine, and have found I
can cause the kernel to panic at will.
Ideally I would like to be able to stop a plex, use atacontrol attach/detach to
replace the disk, and rebuild the plex. Would this work in theory?
I am using atacontrol to allow me to hot-swap drives. On a freshly rebooted
system, where I haven't yet loaded vinum, this works:
eddie# mount /dev/ad6s1a /mnt
eddie# touch /mnt/SOME_DATA
eddie# umount /mnt
eddie# atacontrol detach 3
ad6: removed from configuration
eddie# atacontrol attach 3
Master: ad6 ATA/ATAPI rev 6
Slave: no device present
eddie# mount /dev/ad6s1a /mnt
eddie# cd /mnt
eddie# ls
SOME_DATA
eddie#
And now, I create a vinum volume that's mirrored across 2 drives, the second of
which is ad6:
eddie# cat config1
drive a device /dev/ad4s1a
drive b device /dev/ad6s1a
volume mirror setupstate
plex org concat
sd length 1000m drive a
plex org concat
sd length 1000m drive b
eddie# vinum create config1
2 drives:
D a State: up /dev/ad4s1a A: 116796/117796 MB
D b State: up /dev/ad6s1a A: 116796/117796 MB
1 volumes:
V mirrorState: up Plexes: 2 Size: 1000 MB
2 plexes:
P mirror.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 1000 MB
P mirror.p1 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 1000 MB
2 subdisks:
S mirror.p0.s0 State: up D: aSize: 1000 MB
S mirror.p1.s0 State: up D: bSize: 1000 MB
Now I stop and unload vinum, and try to run atacontrol:
eddie# vinum stop
vinum unloaded
eddie# kldstat | grep vinum
eddie#
eddie# atacontrol detach 3
I have built a debug kernel, and have a core. The backtrace is below.
If you need any more info please let me know!

Re: Difference between Vinum and atacontrol RAID?

How do Vinum and the ATA subsystem's RAID relate? Vinum resembles a popular commercial RAID product called Veritas LVM; vinum does software-based RAID. The ATA RAID support via atacontrol apparently requires hardware RAID controllers like the Promise or Highpoint devices. Hardware based RAID is likely to be faster, particularly in the case of parity calculations for RAID-5. (Not that many IDE controllers can do RAID-5, but...) The RAID volumes created with vinum are accessible only under FreeBSD, whereas the ATA-based RAID solutions create a logical volume accessible via the normal BIOS interfaces, so the RAID device looks like a single, bigger physical disk drive. Thus you can use an ATA-based hardware RAID volume as a boot device, install multiple operating systems, etc. Generally, one cannot boot from a vinum based-device, unless you are only doing RAID-1 mirroring. I'm familar with something called "encapsulating the root partition" under Solaris and Veritas; it's not for the faint-of-heart. :-) -Chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
Difference between Vinum and atacontrol RAID?
A couple days ago, I asked on the -hackers list about a problem I was having with Vinum and my Promise-based controllers. Søren replied with how to do this by using atacontrol to build the volume. No Vinum seems to be required. I thought Vinum was FreeBSD's RAID system. If you wanted to do software RAID with FreeBSD, you needed to use Vinum. Now I find this out. Does that ATA subsystem have RAID support built in? (Since atacontrol just seems to control the ATA devices...) If this is so, what's the use of Vinum? When should I use one vs the other?

Fixing degraded atacontrol based software RAID?
Hello, I have a machine running atacontrol based software RAID in which one of the disks recently failed (Maxtor, not IBM for those who want to know). Now I'm wondering how I should go about fixing this. atacontrol seems to lack a command to fix broken software only arrays. I suppose I could use dd -if workingdisk -of newdisk but atacontrol seems to block the disks during multi user (and since the box has got work to do, I can't just take it down for a few hours). Other option would be to just install a hardware RAID controller I suppose. I still have a 3ware one laying around somewhere (this one features background rebuilding, albeit very slowly) but I'd be interested to hear whether I can do background rebuilding triggered from atacontrol with Highpoint 370 or Promise Fasttrak controllers. Any comments would greatly be appreciated (as would be CCs to myself as the traffic on this list makes it sometimes hard to find the answers ;-).

atacontrol based software only RAID
Hello, after messing around with atacontrol software RAID a bit I became quite confident that this can't be any worse than the el cheapo IDE RAID (Highpoint, Promise, CMD) that we commonly use around here and figured I could as well ditch the controllers and use the PCI slots for something else. But now I stumbled about the last remaining machine that doesn't have any RAID at all and am wondering how I go about initializing the array. Basically, I can create one with atacontrol create and then use dd to copy over the data from the primary to the secondary disk but I don't know what's going to happen if I do this in multi user (as taking down a production webserver for ~40 minutes to do it in single user isn't really a viable option). Will dd just copy over all the data from drive 1 and any writes during that time (which surely will happen, you gotta have access_log after all) will get mirrored to both disk by atacontrol so that I end up with a perfectly synced pair of disks once dd is over? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. TIA & regards, Gabriel To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
