Will FreeBSD work.? I don't mean this in either a bad or saracstic way whatsoever, but more in the spirit of "give it a shot and see what happens"..so. Give it a shot and see what happens. You won't lose anything by taking that approach, if the RAID controller is *not* recognized you won't be able to commence an installation. Write your data to CD/DVD first, then "go for it" Honestly, I can't think of a method more certain to verify whether or not your RAID controller is supported. While you're at it, go for 5.3-RELEASE...why stop at the earlier version? There *is* mention (of course) of the Promise RAID controller at: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/relnotes-i386.html#PROC and it looks sorta hopeful for you. and I quote; [snip] The ata(4) driver now supports cardbus(4) ATA/SATA controllers. A number of bugs in the ata(4) driver have been fixed. Most notably, master/slave device detection should work better, and some problems with timeouts should be resolved. The ata(4) driver now supports the Promise command sequencer present on all modern Promise controllers (PDC203** PDC206**). Note: This also adds preliminary support for the Promise SX4/SX4000 as a ``normal'' Promise ATA controller; ATA RAID's are supported, but only RAID0, RAID1, and RAID0+1 [/snip] Good luck! and do please let us know if you were successful or not.

I haven't been able to get ACPI to work, so I leave it disabled, but this isn't a big deal for me. You will need the sk ethernet device set in the kernel config, as well as some other things. You will have to go with 5.3-RELEASE to support your hardware. If you decide to install it, let me know and I'll send my kernel config file, device.hints and loader.conf. - jt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I don't think that made it to -STABLE yet though. I haven't tried it on the 4 branch but in 5.2.1 and 5.3-BETA SATA works just fine for me: ad4: 157066MB [319120/16/63] at ata2-master SATA150 ad6: 157066MB [319120/16/63] at ata3-master SATA150 IIRC the SATA spec is downward compatible with PATA so at least in theory a SATA drive and interface will work everywhere. As for speed and performance claims, "Bah humbug." The initial SATA interface is 150 MB/sec. I've never seen a single drive sustain over 55 MB/sec. so as long as your interface is a bit faster than your hardware then its not an issue. Where the real gains are to be made is with the command set cleanup being undertaken with SATA. Useful multitasking features from SCSI are working their way into the 2nd generation of SATA drives. SATA uses a nice small cable and connector. Each drive has its own cable without the master/slave silliness so there could/should be a performance increase where one uses both drives at the same time. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hot Swap Serial ATA Drives?
I've been tasked with coming up with an archiving solution for my
company for very large datafiles (100+ gigs). With the low
price of hard drives, it seems that using some sort of hot
swappable Serial ATA Hard drive in an enclosure would be the
best & cheapest way to go about doing something like this.
Does anyone have any experience using atacontrol to hot swap out
serial ata drives in FreeBSD? If so, can you tell me what
hardware you've tried/had luck with?
Thanks for all your help.

Promise Serial ATA Installation Target
G'day, I've looked into google a lot, tracked some mailing lists, and had mixed success using the 'try everything on everything else' method, but alas I am stumped. I'm trying to install FreeBSD Release 4.8 onto my system, but the installer (and related ata kernel module) only recognises the motherboards onboard UltraATA 100 controller, which it correctly detects as an ICH4 chip. If I manually set ata0 to the io and irq of the onboard raid controller, it detects the SATA controller correctly. (The controller is an Promise Ultra/Fasttrak-133 TX2 controller, which has 1xATA133 ports and 2xSATA 150 ports, and Windows detects as a Promise FastTrak 376 Controller. (PDC20376)) The drive itself comes up as ata2 in the installer if I fiddle apropriately (setting the io=0x376 and irq=10 for the ata0 device, which strangely doesn't remove the ata0 device and readd it on the different controller, but instead keeps ata0 and detects ata2 in addition to ata0 and ata1), and there are no other hard disks in the system. Installing Windows 2000 or XP requires the hardware installation disk, as this controller isn't a standard Intel ICH* chip, so I'm expecting there will be some form of teething problems, but from everything I've read, FreeBSD is supposed to support this controller out of the box using the ata module. However I have a feeling that it may be detecting my UltraATA controller and not looking any further into the system? Or will the ata module autodetect every device it supports? Is there any way to inform fdisk that there is in fact a disk on ata2? It can be seen if I perform lsdev from the root image before stepping into the kernel configuration stage, and the partition table is read correctly.

As I understand it SATA is invisible to the OS, therefore, in theory, any OS would just see the drive[s] as fast UDMA. I'd like to hear what speeds you achieve if you go ahead with the purchase. From http://www.serialata.org/about/index.shtml Will Serial ATA be compatible with today's PCs? Serial ATA electronics and connectors will differ from Parallel ATA, however the technology is software compatible and OS transparent. It is anticipated that there will be adapters to facilitate forward- and backward-compatibility of hard disks on PC systems. John.

Serial ATA drive in UDMA33 mode, nForce 4 chipset
Hi list, I have an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard (which has an nForce4 chipset) and use a 200GB Western Digital Serial ATA hard disk in a box with FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p8 on it. For some reason, this disk is using the UDMA33 mode. I have come to understand that it should be able to use a much faster mode. I placed the output of pciconf -lv online here: http://pastebin.com/412798 . The relevant lines from dmesg: atapci0: port 0xf000-0xf00f,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 6.0 on pci0 ata0: channel #0 on atapci0 ata1: channel #1 on atapci0 atapci1: port 0xd800-0xd80f,0xb70-0xb73,0x970-0x977,0xbf0-0xbf3,0x9f0-0x9f7 irq 20 at device 7.0 on pci0 ata2: channel #0 on atapci1 ata3: channel #1 on atapci1 atapci2: port 0xc400-0xc40f,0xb60-0xb63,0x960-0x967,0xbe0-0xbe3,0x9e0-0x9e7 irq 22 at device 8.0 on pci0 ata4: channel #0 on atapci2 ata5: channel #1 on atapci2 ad8: 190782MB [387621/16/63] at ata4-master UDMA33 I have tried - without success - to change the mode to UDMA133 (and slower modes, down to UDMA33) manually as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# atacontrol list ATA channel 0: Master: acd0 ATA/ATAPI revision 0 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: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 4: Master: ad8 Serial ATA v1.0 Slave: no device present ATA channel 5: Master: no device present Slave: no device present [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# atacontrol mode 4 Master = UDMA33 Slave = BIOSPIO [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# atacontrol mode 4 udma6 biospio Master = UDMA33 Slave = BIOSPIO After some googling I found a previous mailinglist post, one was about so called 'MKIII' patches, which I was going to give a try, when I read another post from earlier this year from someone with the same chipset with the exact same issue: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-May/050522.html> And he's had no success with the patches. So now I'm wondering what I should do... Should I try those patches anyway? (If so, does anyone know of a guide for someone who has never applied any patches before?) Is there perhaps by now another solution for this, or should I just switch to 6.0RC1 (or final, which I understand should be released very soon)?

Problem with Serverworks HT1000 serial ATA support - Tyan S3992 Motherboard
Hello I am testing out a new tyan motherboard that uses the next generation of AMD chips and the Serverworks Chipset. It seems that I can reliably crash it with a simple bonnie++ test if I set: /boot/loader.conf - Used for DiskD for Squid kern.ipc.msgtql=2048 I am using FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE amd64. This all works just fine on a non Serverworks Chipset Tyan Board. (literaly I unplug the drive and move it to another system and it works and works in production) If I run: bonnie++ -d /home -u root s1g The system reboots. I have tried this is both S-ATA and P-ATA emulation. Any ideas on why this setting, which works on non Serverworks boards, would make the Serverworks so twitchy?

But not if I use the same tuning parameters used on systems running on Non Serverworks chipsets. (Tyan S2881 or S2882 Board) I use these for supporting many heavy loaded Squid servers. The normal tweaks suggested for Squid, and work well on Non Serverworks chipsets are: /boot/loader.conf kern.ipc.maxsockets=16424 kern.ipc.msgmnb=16384 kern.ipc.msgmni=41 kern.ipc.msgseg=2049 kern.ipc.msgssz=64 kern.ipc.msgtql=2048 OR kern.ipc.msgmnb=8192 kern.ipc.msgmni=40 kern.ipc.msgseg=512 kern.ipc.msgssz=64 kern.ipc.msgtql=1024 However, with any setting of kern.ipc.msgtql (What does it do anyway?) above 64 the server crashes with the Bonnie test. The higher the setting the faster the crash.
