isp(4) WWNs / ISP2532
Cheers,
we have a Qlogic ISP 2532 PCI FC-AL Adapter here, on 9.0-RC1, which
seems to work fine with isp(4).
But: We had some trouble finding the WWNs -- per man page, there should
be sysctl entries like dev.isp.N.{wwnn,wwpn}, but they ain't here. dmesg
didn't show them either.
Booting verbose does print them.
Is the man page outdated, or a strange behaviour because this chip
isn't explicitly supported?
Thanks,
- D.

gmultipath: act/act, path checking?
Cheers, are there any plans to have gmultipath support for active/active? Also, is there any way to check available paths periodically? As far as I unterstand, once gmultipath kicks a certain path due to failure, it will never come back automatically. (And it won't ever be used if it isn't working at boot time) I've found some discussion about this from 2008, but nothing since...

Perhaps try http://www.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/edd_params.patch
GCC chokes here in drv.c:{49,50}: cannot convert to a pointer type:
v86.ds = VTOPSEG(params);
v86.esi = VTOPOFF(params);
Changed this to params. Also changed sector_size to uint16_t as noted
by Andriy. Boots perfectly! (Tested with gcc and clang)
Thanks!

Working offline with Dennis, we found that changing the CFLAGS in
sys/boot/i386/gptboot/Makefile from -O1 to -Os -mrtd (partially reverting
an earlier commit) fixed gptboot. The next test for someone to do would be
to
try just adding -mrtd and leaving -O1 as-is to see if that fixes it.
More test results:
gcc -Os -fno-guess-branch-probability -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-unit-at-a-time \
-mno-align-long-strings -mrtd [from before r225530]: Boots OK
gcc -Os -mrtd: Boots OK
gcc -O1 -mrtd: Fails
gcc -O1: Fails
gcc -O0: Fails
gcc -Os: Boots OK
clang -O1: Fails
clang -Os: Fails
clang -Oz: Fails
I've put some printf()s into gpt{,boot}.c to trace where the reboot is
triggered. It appears to be in drvsize() (called from gptread()). OTOH
the debug output may have changed where the problem occurs, I don't
know about that.
With 9.0R drawing near, CFLAGS should be s/-O1/-Os/, until we can figure
out what happens. But as for why gcc's magic -Os is required and clang's
output doesn't work at all, I'm clueless.

[...] It was fresh install and I choose guided partitioning (GPT) But after reboot my server don't boot from hd. We have the same issue on a DL580 G7. Install runs fine, but when it's time for the first boot, the bootcode emits a single '-' (where usually it would be spinning for a moment while loading), hangs for about two seconds, and then reboots. I've used the BETA3 bsdinstall on other (amd64) hardware with GPT and it worked fine. Also, manually adding the GPT label, partitions and bootcode using gpart, then rebooting, shows the exact same behaviour (this was done using the BETA3 Live CD). I suspect it's something in the vicinity of pmbr bootcode vs. newer HP BIOS. (BTW, not related to this issue: hw.memtest.tests=0 should be default. The kernel on a system with 128 GB of RAM needs about two minutes (!) before emitting a single line of output. At first we didn't know about this test and thought there was a serious problem.) - D. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
