FreeBSD users want to be able to burn CDs and DVDs, and since SCSI hardware has fallen out of style, I can say very few if any FreeBSD 9.0 users will have an actual SCSI CD or DVD drive. The new CAM(4) is not just for SCSI devices (and SCSI, as it is usually used now, does not deal only with the old parallel SCSI devices). Despite the fact that most CD and DVD drives will now appear as cdX devices, and cd(4) is full of references to SCSI, most CD and DVD drives should be supported. And while burncd(8) will not work with the new interface, other software in ports should -- for example, sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-devel, as was mentioned before. b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: options atapicam and/or device ATA_CAM in kernel config?
What is the role of options atapicam and device ATA_CAM in kernel config file? Are they redundant? Kernel will build with both these options, but will it make things go awry? Is ATA_CAM deprecated? They are redundant and incompatible. atapicam is deprecated, and ATA_CAM is the new default on FreeBSD 9 and 10. Unless you have some special requirements, you should use ATA_CAM on recent versions of FreeBSD, because it usually performs better than the old ATA code, and has added functionality. Lowell Gilbert freebsd-questions-local at be-well.ilk.org responds: As far as I can see, ATA_CAM isn't currently documented. Just ignore it. This is bad advice, for the reasons mentioned above. It is briefly documented in /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES, and you can find more information about it in the commit logs of the source repository, and the mailing lists. For example: http://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/base?view=revisionrevision=195534 ... http://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/base?view=revisionrevision=200171 http://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/base?view=revisionrevision=220982 http://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/base?view=revisionrevision=216088 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-June/008574.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2011-April/024110.html ... So I can say good riddance to ATA_CAM. According to burncd man page, ATA_CAM is incompatible with burncd, also burncd was deprecated in FreeBSD 9.0. As I wrote above, you probably do _not_ want to discard ATA_CAM on recent versions of FreeBSD. burncd is deprecated because it does not work with ATA_CAM, and no one has volunteered to rewrite it yet. You can use a port like sysutils/cdrtools or sysutils/cdrtools-devel instead. I am trying to burn a CD (or DVD) on a SATA DVD-RW drive, but cdrtools don't work. Why not? Specifically, what fails? Does your kernel include the necessary bits, like ATA_CAM? Have you asked the cdrtools port maintainer for help, and sent him a verbose listing of any errors you encounter? There were some recent CAM changes that broke some ports like audio/cdparanoia, but these ports will probably be fixed soon. ... Also, how do I build and install a kernel to some name other than /boot/kernel, and not build all modules in duplicate? I think we answered these questions in the other recent thread. ... I don't want to upgrade FreeBSD on older computer because of shortage of disk space and only 256 MB RAM. Portupgrading everything would be too gruesomely slow, in addition to likely running short of disk space. You can use a faster computer to build packages for your slower computer, or use packages from the FreeBSD mirrors. You can also use tools like devel/ccache to speed builds, although this requires more disk space. Building ports in a swap-backed memory file system like mdmfs or tmpfs can also help, although you have to be careful when RAM is limited. You could work around your disk space limitations by using a removable drive for builds, or a network-based files system like nfs. And if you have a number of slower computers of the same type, you can speed up builds by having the computers work together, with something like devel/distcc. b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

atapicam issues
I have 2 systems running 8.0 installed from the same CD. One of them shows 2 PASS devices as expected and camcontrol devlist shows the appropriate devices. They work as expected. The other does not show any PASS devices and camcontrol devlist shows nothing. Doing a kldload atapicam installs the PASS devices and then camcontrol works properly. Why would that system require atapicam to be manually added? That module was not loaded on the working system. I installed it there first by accident but it had no detrimental effect.

Problem with atapicam on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p5 causes system-freeze
Hi all, I'm using FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p5, with the standard SMP kernel found in / usr/src/sys/i386/conf/SMP, when i 'kldload atapicam' i get the following error message which just makes no sense to me: WARNING - PREVENT_ALLOW taskqueue timeout - completing request directly xptioctl: put device pass0 in your kernel config file xptioctl: pass driver is not in the kernel Right after I get this error message, it starts repeating again and again, and the system is no more useable. Then I installed the normal GENERIC kernel without SMP support, and the same thing happens, same error message. Then i tried to compile device atapicam directly into the kernel, which makes the system hang at boot time, while recognizing the cdrom. The standard SMP kernel includes the GENERIC kernel in which the line device pass can be found, that means pass must be allready in the kernel. Please have a look at the output from dmesg and kldstat -v here (link) http://nopaste.info/52ef292281.html I searched the web for similar error messages, and found a message pointing this problem to hald, so i disabled hald to see if that chances anything. And it did, while 'kldload atapicam' i'm not getting the above error message anymore, but 'camcontrol devlist' doesnt show anything and cdrecord -scanbus ends up in the following errormessage: Cdrecord-Clone 2.01 (i386-unknown-freebsd6.2) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jÿÿrg Schilling cdrecord: Error 0. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. I checked with 'kldstat', and it showed atapicam. Since my mainboard has just one ide port onboard(rest is S-ATA), i have to use a pcie ide-controller Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20268 (Ultra100 TX2) on which my dvdwriter(acd0) is connected to.

Re: atapicam trouble (me too)
Neither disabling atapicam nor atapicd works on my Core2Duo system. I don't know whether it's related to the new IDE controllers (JMicron 363 and Intel ICH8) or a similar problem to what you're reporting. The best I can do is about 3MB/s with atapicd and DMA disabled and also with atapicam. Both have problems reading files from a DVD, I end up getting READ_BIG errors from the kernel.

ATAPICAM in the FreeBSD manual
Hi. In the FreeBSD manual on '17.6.9 Using the ATAPI/CAM Driver', it only talks about rebuilding the kernel with device atapicam. I think it should mention that it actually is possible to just add 'atapicam_load=YES' to /boot/loader.conf. Perhaps I have missed or overlooked something and in that case just ignore my message, but otherwise I think it would improve the manual. I for one just rebuild the kernel the other day just to enable the ATAPI/CAM driver, but had I known it could be loaded from loader.conf, I wouldn't have rebuild it.

Will adding ATAPICAM confuse my SCSI R/W CDROM?
This may be a silly question, but I wanted to make sure: I have a SCSI R/W CD-ROM drive and an IDE DVD read-only drive. There have been times with linux where enabling SCSI emulation made the actual SCSI drive unavailable to k3b. I just want to make sure that adding ATAPICAM won't somehow get in the way of the actual SCSI device. Will it?

5.3 and atapicam....
Greetings, I seem to have made a small amount of progress with my atapicam boggle. I was able to get a kernel with the atapicam driver configured to boot by taking the drive off of the 2nd channel of my PDC20269-based atapter and configure it as a slave on the 2nd channel of my motherboard's embedded controller. I was even able to 'rip' a disk using cdda2wav. I attempted to rip a 2nd one but it failed with an I/O error.

I disabled all ATA DMA (hw.ata.ata_dma=0 my in loader.conf) and tried to rip the disk again. It completed without a single error. Further, I was able to burn 5 CDs on the same drive at ridiculous speeds (48X reported by cdrecord) without a single issue. Hope this helps someone.

Re: 5.3 interrupt storm (atapicam) and I/O error
Hello, attached you will find a copy of my custom kernel config which did work without any issue under FreeBSD 5.2.1. As outlined earlier if using this config on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE I am getting an interrupt storm while booting the system. The following hardware configuration *won't* cause an interrupt storm on FreeBSD 5.3 if using the Promise PDC20269 controller: * harddrive attached to IDE channel #1 * no device attached to channel #2 The following hardware configuration *will* cause an interrupt storm on FreeBSD 5.3 if using the Promise PDC20269 controller: Config #1: * harddrive attached to IDE channel #1 * CDROM or CDRW attached to channel #2 Config #2: * CDROM or CDRW attached to channel #1 * harddrive attached to IDE channel #2 Jason Henson schrieb: On 01/28/05 08:38:14, Daniel S.

Re: 5.3 interrupt storm (atapicam)
Greetings, I seem to have made a little progress with the atapicam driver. It seems if I force PIO mode (hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 in /boot/loader.conf) a kernel with the atapicam device will boot. I still cannot access a disk in the drive however either via the acdx device or the new cdx device provided by the atapicam driver.

Re: 5.3 interrupt storm (atapicam) and I/O error
Greetings, Not sure what to think about this yet but it definitely has something to do with having my ATAPI CD connected to the 2nd channel of my Promise Ultra 133 TX2 adapter (PDC20269). If I disconnect the cable from channel 2 the kernel will boot with atapicam enabled. I don't seem to be able to use my motherboard's embedded EIDE controller with the Promise adapter installed. I don't see any obvious I/O or interrupt conflicts, but I also don't have too much control over it with this old SuperMicro mainboard. Seems odd to me though, since this all worked on 5.2.1. Open for suggestions, but for now I'm going to try to track down the SCSI I/O error problem so I can get some CD burning done (critical system backups) and then I'll see if I can try to figure out if this is an EIDE driver issue or a atapicam issue.

5.3 interrupt storm (atapicam) and I/O error
Greetings, I've recently returned to FreeBSD (x86) after my Ultra 30 died. I've had good results with the 5.2* and 5.3 releases until I tried to copy an audio cd with cdda2wav. I'm a bit 'out-of-touch' with the changes to FBSD over the last 4 years or so and am hoping someone can point me straight. First... I tried cdda2wav on the disk in my SCSI CD drive attached to a 2940 controller. Got a boatload of messages like the following which eventually resulted in a hung process. cmd finished after 0.175s timeout 300s 1/ 1/ 1/ 51495 54573%cdda2wav: Input/output error. ReadStandard10: scsi sendcmd: retryable error CDB: 28 00 00 02 36 4F 00 00 1A 00 status: 0x0 (GOOD STATUS) resid: 53248 cmd finished after 0.174s timeout 300s 1/ 1/ 1/ 51496 54573%cdda2wav: Input/output error.

I tried to disable the 'atapicd' device but it didn't seem to help. Hoping someone has the magic potion for this.. Many thanks! -- Randall D. DuCharme (Radio AD5GB) Powered by FreeBSD!

Two Questions ( atapicam related and scheduler related)
I been following the progress of the 5.3 release and I thought they were changing the shceduler from SCHED_4BSD to SCHED_ULE? Also I recently acquired a DVD+-RW and was wondering if I should stick with using burncd and growisfs with the standard /dev/acd0 or should I switch to using atapicam?

My hypothesis is that I have somehow failed to persuade the kernel to Really And Truly do DMA on this device, and that it's fallen back on a pathetically slow and inappropriate PIO mode. Clues will be gratefully appreciated; also, since I've seen other people with similar problems, if I can find a fix, I will write about it and put lots of happy Google-friendly keywords in it so fewer people will ask in the future.

Re: atapicam, cdrecord, and my gaping clue deficiency
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Peter Seebach write s: Problem: CD burning Always Fails. Failure mode is 100% repeatable and consistent: A followup: I have an HP DVD Writer dvd630i. 1. If I install only the DVD Writer dvd630i, as a master, the kernel panics and won't boot. 2. If I install both drives, with the HP as slave, the HP comes up at 33MB/sec and the Pioneer at 66MB/sec. In that configuration, the HP burns CDs just fine, but the Pioneer doesn't. So I'd just put the HP in the system. But it won't boot with just the HP!

ATAPICAM - cdrecord will not recognize my DVD burner
FreeBSD Enthusiasts, I have been using cdrecord since I built my system. I have an Asus A7N8X delux motherboard, AMD 3200+ cpu, 2G of ram and (2) 15,000 rpm scsi drives. I recently bought a Toshiba DVD+r/-r burner, which I replaced my DVDr/CDRW drive with. The new drive is detected at bootup: acd0: DVDR TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-H552B at ata0-master PIO4 However, cdrecord --scanbus no longer can see the drive through scsi emulation. I tried to load the cam module, but it is already loaded. I am using 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9. Any pointers in the right direction are appreciated.

ATAPICAM FreeBSD 5.2.1
Good day to all. I have been going crazy trying to get K3b to work. Everytime I attempt to burn a cd, the system freezes and reboots. I have been on the formus for a month now trying to find a soulution. Seems a lot of other people are having the same issue, and all theses guys are pointing to atapicam. I reinstalled 4.10 for testing and k3b works perfectly. Is atapicam really the problem as I suspect? If so, will this be fixed prior to 5.3 release. Apologize in advance if this is a silly question.

If I start K3B it freezes my system, but if I removed my SCSI CD-reader the problem went away. But the I only had my IDE NEC 1100 burner left. Note that I had a Hard drive as well attached too my SCSI controller card and that did not cause in my eye's any problems. Perhaps you are having a similar problem?

Reading from ATAPICAM DVD
I am attempting to use DVD::RIP to rip a DVD (or a piece of one). It tries to execute tcprobe -H 10 -i /dev/cd0c and fails with the error: [fileinfo.c:118] file read error: Invalid argument The code is (read(fdes, buf, bytes). (The value of bytes is 4.) I also log a system error of: dscheck(#cd/2): b_bcount 5 is not on a sector boundary (ssize 2048) Is this an ATAPICAM or ATA issue or is it required that reads start at a sector boundary? I assume that this code at least works on Linux systems and I had always assumed that, even though the disk must start a transfer at a sector boundary, the driver buffered the data to make it appear as a byte stream. Maybe I'm confused. Any suggestions on this are appreciated as I want to get a better idea of what is happening before a report the problem. -- R.
