atacontrol and SATA RAID

2004-10-28 Thread Giovanni P. Tirloni
Hi,
 I've a Intel SE7210TP1 motherboard with Adaptec HostRAID and I've 
created a RAID1 array with 2 SATA disks using the following command:

  atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6
 The system installed on /dev/ar0 just fine and I played a bit with 
atacontrol detaching and attaching the disks.

 Detaching ad6 worked without problems with the following commands:
  atacontrol detach 3
  atacontrol attach 3
  atacontrol rebuild 0
 But when I tried to detach ad4 (after rebuilding array from previous 
detachment) I got an error saying the array was broken. Now when 
booting it shows this:

 ar0: 152627MB  [19457/255/63] status: DEGRADED 
subdisks:
disk0 READY on ad4 at ata2-master
disk1 DOWN no device found for this disk

 but atacontrol list shows ad6 there. So my question is: what's the 
proper way of doing de attach/detach operation ?

 I did a fresh install then turned the machine off and removed on 
disk. It booted again just fine. Then I turned it off again and 
inserted the disk I had removed. Now it will panic:

 panic: softdep_setup_inomapdep: found inode
 cpuid = 0
 boot() called on cpu#0
 Uptime: 2s
 If I removed the disk and boot again it will work and show the 
following message:

 ar0: 152627MB  [19457/255/63] status: DEGRADED 
subdisks:
 disk0 READY on ad4 at ata2-master
 disk1 DOWN no device found for this disk

 How can I replace a failed disk with this setup ? Given what I've 
read I'm not really using the controller's RAID support but only the 
RAID support present in the ata subsystem. Is that true ? In the BIOS 
I don't have any arrays.

Thank you,
