HDD problem research (was HDD questions)

2004-03-10 Thread Roman Kurakin 
Does any body have Segate drive ST380021A working with FreeBSD?
Does any body have problems with it running 5.2-5.current or other 
versions of FreeBSD?

Best regards,

Hi,

   I have some problems with my HDD (ST380021A). The problem was 
checked on 5.2, 5.2.1, and some
5.Current (cvsuped about week or two).

   At first I got this problem while system installation. I get trap 
and message from ata after I start a commit:
FAILURE READ_DMA status=51  error=10 
 LBA=245529601


If I read the above modelnumber correctly it is a 80G disk..

There is only ~16000 sectors on such a disk, so you cant expect 
to read sector 245529601 as its not there :) 


I know that, and this is the problem. I am trying to read 41929650, 
but system thinks this is 245529601.
This sector is near 20G mark, so I tried to read it from 40G disk, 
which I use to run fbsd. All is fine.

Now why sysinstall tries to do that is beyond me, but could be a 
problem with the geometry (it seems to always get it wrong these days). 


This is not a problem of sysinstall at all. As I wrote, it is enougth 
to try to read one sector. So this problem
somewhere between read call and ata driver. This area wasn't in focus 
of my interest before, so I don't
know where to go.

Also, I tryied to read some sectors back and forward, and found out 
that value of LBA changes nolinear.
Lower byte is linear only on interval of 63 values, so I gues this is 
a sector value. And  it seems that LBA value
not LBA value at all :-(

This is all I have now. Any ideas, comments?

Best regards,
   Roman Kurakin

of 5.x branch
may be this would help me to find 10 diffs :-)))
