CAM errors with 7.0-RELEASE and USB hard drive
Hello, I've just hooked up my Western Digital MyBook 750G external usb hard drive to my server in order to make some backups. The drive is formated UFS, and it seems to work well. However, when doing large file transfers (ie, using DUMP or gzip'ing files) I keep getting these errors every so often: Mar 10 20:08:34 hive kernel: umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT Mar 10 20:08:34 hive kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): WRITE(10).

Promise PDC20267 UDMA100 controller channel attaching trouble
I've having a bit of trouble with my promise ATA100 controller card on my server computer. I used to use it fine with my older system (k6-450 with freebsd 4.xx). I've built this newer box (with FreeBSD 5.3 and also 5.3-STABLE, running a K7-650 now) and swapped a lot of things over. The problem is I keep getting this: device_attach: ata2 attach returned 6 when I boot up. I've juggled IRQs, turned off the onboard controller, but it just won't attach. The only way it'll work is if I run the drives on the secondary port. When I do this, everything boots. When the drives are on the primary port, it won't even acknowledge I have any drives hooked up. The card's bios detects all drives upon bootup (primary/secondary), so I don't think the controller is messed.. atacontrol list: ATA channel 0: Master: ad0 Maxtor 53073H6/DAC10SC0 ATA/ATAPI revision 6 Slave: no device present ATA channel 1: Master: acd0 HITACHI CDR-8430/0024 ATA/ATAPI revision 0 Slave: ast0 Seagate STT2A/8N43 ATA/ATAPI revision 0 ATA channel 3: Master: ad6 WDC WD1200JB-00GVA0/08.02D08 ATA/ATAPI revision 6 Slave: ad7 QUANTUM FIREBALLP AS40.0/A1Y.1500 ATA/ATAPI revision 5 dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2005 The FreeBSD Project.

dump/restore indexing question
I have freebsd 4.10 on one of my production servers. I have been using the dump/restore combo to backup my drive, and I run a nightly dump -9 on the /home partition, and most of the dump -9s are dumped to a single tape since I don't have daily acs to swap the tapes more than once a month or so. I'm wondering if there is a utility that can index the dumps on a tape and list the time/date for each dump on the tape. I looked through the dump/restore/mt man pages, google'd, and looked though the ports without much luck. please CC this to my email, as I am not subscribed to the list anymore.. thanx in advance. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Binary Upgrade Problems 4.3 --- 4.9
On Mon, 8 Dec 2003 16:44:19 -0800, Cal Cornils wrote: I'm having trouble doing a binary upgrade from 4.3 to 4.9. Existing 4.3 was installed with 'all' distributions selected, and takes up about 636M on an old Pentium. When I tried the upgrade to 4.9 the first time (selecting 'all' again) the process bombed, and complained about unwillingness to upgrade /src, suggesting CTM or CVSup - which was fair enough, since this was supposed to be a 'binary' upgrade. (Does this always happen??) Re-installed 4.3 again and re-tried the upgrade - this time with all distributions chosen (except sources). Bombed out again, complaining about 'unable to extract stuff into /usr/X11R6 directory'. However, even with this outcome, the system seems to be working (almost) OK. Boots OK with 4.9 kernel and 'uname -a' shows Version 4.9. All of the files seem to be there (now takes up 822M), and all of the files I've checked have dates of Oct 27 (which I assume is when 4.9 was built). However, all of my old configuration files are still stuck in /usr/tmp/etc and have not been copied back into /etc - only 'new' unmodified versions of the files are there, also with dates of Oct 27. And, I assume, there are troubles in the X11R6 directory, since that's where it was when it bombed. So, it appears that the upgrade went almost to completion, but ran into trouble towards the end. Any suggestions?? I'm beginning to believe that binary upgrades are more trouble than a 'real' one - even though it 'appears' to be easier. to be honest with you, I've _never_ had good luck with binary upgrade. I've never got one to work. If you can, patch everything up, install cvsup, and follow the build world tuturiol on the main website (www.freebsd.org). It will take a little time on an old pentium to recompile the SRC, but on my K6-450, I can build the entire 5.1 src in under a few hrs (like 2-3), the 4.x series is a lot faster. --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
swap_pager with Freebsd 5.1
I running FreeBSD 5.1-p2 (I sup'd the src about 2-3weeks ago), and since I've installed it, I've gotten some weird crashes. about once every 7-8 day i'll get the msg: swap_pager: indefinite wait for swap device: /dev/ad0s1b, buf xxx block 4096 something to that effect, I can't capture the text. the machine just keeps looping away, saying that message. I was googling, and it said that it could be a bad drive and/or controller/hardware, which i intend to run maxtor's powermax to test the drive. (any problems with that? i have a DD partition). However, none of this happened until I went to 5.1. (i was running 5.0 without any problems). I had like 85 days of uptime. (and that was only because I sup'd the security fixes). anyone have any clues? please CC me, as sometime i can't watch the list.. thanx --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just don't try to install X windows, unless you set up a *lot* of swap. It also depends a little bit on if there is any noncooperative hardware on the machine. Laptops tend to have some of that. Best bet is to try it. 4.x will probably work the best for you. This memory question comes up a lot, and I'm not sure how up to date that part of the documentation is. Has anyone _definitely_ run an install on a machine with only 8MB in the last couple of years? Twice I have failed to install (boot floppy with CD) to machines with only 8MB RAM. It could have been FreeBSD 4.4, but I think it was FreeBSD 3.3. I'd love to discover that I'm wrong here. Of course the alternative is to put the disk in another machine to do the install, then it should run OK back in the 8MB machine. As for X, forget trying it. If it was installed it would run but not usably, no matter how much swap. Without X and with plenty of swap you can do a lot with your 8MB in text mode if you can get an installation going. I had a 386 with 8MB running FreeBSD 2.x (without X) that ran much faster than the NT4 pentium beside it. The 486 CPU should be fine. AFAIK, you need 12meg to install, but only 8 to run.

The operating system reports the drive is available and definitely makes contact with the drive (visual confirmation: LED). The issue is during read/write from the drive. Error message: fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 (No status) I have the proper drive type set in the BIOS. FreeBSD seems to agree according to the dmesg: fd0: 1200-KB 5.25 drive on fdc0 drive 0 I've been doing simple read tests using: dd if=/dev/fd0 count=1 bs=512 | hexdump ; Any suggestions? Drive might be broken, disk might be broken, disk might not be formated, and finally make sure you know what kind of 5.25 both the drive and the disk are. 8088/86 machines stated off with single sided 8 sector one @160k, then double sided 8 sector (320k), then single sided 9 sector (180k), then double sided 9 sector (360k). That was the standard. AT machines (i.e. 286s and later 386s 486s) used 1.2Mb 5.25 disks. These AT drives could read 360k PC disks (PC = 8086/88, BTW) but if you wrote to one there was a very good chance it would never be readable by a PC again, because the 1.2Mb AT drive had a read/write head 1/3 of the size of the 360Kb PC drive, and often the mark it left was too small to be read by larger PC heads. For that reason I always treated 360k disks as read-only media on 1.2Mb drives. correct; however, you can also format a 360K disk as a 360K High Density, so you could read or write to it from a 1.2M, and still read it from a 360k (but not write). --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Whether or not you get the same IP after dropping your connection depends entirely upon your provider. Some providers will keep recently-dropped IPs around for some period of time so that you can get the same IP back when you reconnect, but others won't. In most cases, PPPoE service with dynamic IPs are not designed for hosting servers (which is the only case where you'd need a static IP). If this is allowable by your AUP, I'd look into using a commercial DNS service that can let you auto-update your IPs when they change. My personal choice is ZoneEdit (http://www.zoneedit.com). sorry, I guess i wasnt clear enough; i do not mind that, what I mind, is that PPP keeps locking up. --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Supposed, it is configured (I haven't had a chance to play with it yet) to have the drives hardware mirrored. Will I need to setup FreeBSD to recognize this, aside from just loading the RAID card in the kernel? the other thing is with the 80GIG size. what kind of filesystem settings should I use? (like block size etc) and would these slice settings be good enough, mainly, it'll handle mail and some websites, along with SAMBA sharing and backups: swap:2G (1G of ram) /:1G (allow for 5.x-RELEASE when it's production ready) /var:5G /home:35G /usr:the rest ?? thanx for your insights --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

It looks like Cisco has even stopped listing hubs for sale - layer two switching seems to firmly in control these days :-) The price difference has really become almost non-existent--one thing that we've found to happen with some cheap switches (a year or so old, hasn't happened with newer cheap switches) is that if one moves a computer from one location to another, the switch seems to take its time flushing its tables and the box won't immediately be able to get an address. It's only happened once or twice with a VERY cheap Linksys (again, the switch is probably 1-2 years old, and this problem might be fixed by now). I should also add that we never fully determined that was the problem--it was usually a matter of trying this and that and eventually the box would get an address and only afterwards did we think of the switch as the culprit. I just picked up two Dell PowerConnect 2016 (16 port 10/100 autosensing) for $99 a piece on sale from dell. they are rack-mountable and seem to work well, and has uplink autosensing. --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

The system was fine and ran on FreeBSD 4.6.2 RELEASE, and I tried moving the controller and drive over to another box after installing 4.7 RELEASE on it. I did nothing to the drive through software. I could not see the drive on the 4.7 system. I moved it back to the 4.6.2 box and this is the error I'm getting and I'm dumped into the single-user shell. some might have already said this, but you need to do MAKEDEV the drive.. ie: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV ad7 you might have to do that for ad4 ad5 ad6 as well. and i believe the drive needs to be plugged in when you boot up. --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Using the ATA enable only (and not the RAID) then it is not activated... at least on my MB with a Promise ATA100/RAID. The MB uses jumpers for each of these. mine wasn't RAID. it jumps to ad4 because the mb has ad0 - ad3 --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Isn't su - what you really need to get a root login shell with all startup files executed?

RE: DUMP to disk over 2GB
On Tue, 26 Nov 2002 08:41:24 -0500, Dave [Hawk-Systems] wrote: ran into the file size limitation of 2GB when doing a L0 dump of the /usr partition. Hmm. I think the trick is to not be aware that there *is* a 2GB limit! Could be it there... using 4.3 stable with security patches and selected port upgrades only... I didn't think there was any change in behaviour during this time. Assumption from responses being upgrading to a more recent stable version is required to eliminate the problem? I think it would be better if you showed more detail about what you've done and what happened. Of course, if you want to upgrade to 4.7 anyway, that might be instructive, but don't expect it to fix your problems. backed up then deleted the entire backup mount, redid a fresh L0 dump and it worked just fine. Not sure what the problem was, or why it would choose to halt almost exactly around the 2GB mark... a quick search in google brough some 2GB limit conversation so I figured Id better run it by the list. Appreciate the comments. perhaps your mount was corrupted, or perhaps it died because there some FS errors that didnt get fsck out. --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
