Re: Maxtor Firewire Drives
Oops, I don't read this list so often.. Please post FireWire related problems to freebsd-firewire.

Tested with many different usb and firewire controllers. Newing a newfs on usb2 on one of these disks with 5.0 (4.7 doesnt support usb2) crashes the os with a bad page fault every time. Under firewire the OS doesnt really recognize them as disks and get them fully mounted. Could you send me the output of 'fwcontrol -d node_id_of_the_drive' ? Some of the older enclosers you add your own drive to kind of work with firewire. However id advise you do transfer some large files (say 200megabyte) to the disk make many copies then check the md5 checksums. Also check the dmesg logs. The other enclosures I tried worked ok for smaller files but go timeouts and trashed data on largers files. Are you still getting the problem with the latest code? The adaptec fireconnect and universal (usb2+firewirecards) seem to work fine by themselfs. All of controller cards seemed ok. Its just something messed up with using them for disks. Tests where conducted on 4.7 (standard,stable), 5.0 (standard, current) using a 120gb maxtor DV5000 a 250gb maxtor DV5000, and ADS enclosure with a maxtor disk added to it, a USB2 enclosure USB2.0 slim its labled from compusa. This with 5 different computers (various motherboards). We ended up going with tape backups. /\ Hidetoshi Shimokawa \/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP public key: http://www.sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~simokawa/pgp.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

I need one or the other to do backups to an external disk. The machine is a production machine tho so I cant really go to current yet. I tried some usb 2 cards. They show up as usb 1 cards and work ok but only at usb 1 speeds. I am using firewire to do exactly that. Cheap firewire cards in all my machines, couple of 180G external firewire hard drives as the storage media. I put a normal filesystem on the drive, then run 'dump' through gzip to create backups. Firewire support has been in -stable for a few months now. It works well in general; throughput is good, the only problems I have run into relate to error handling under fault conditions (at one point I had a loose power connection on a drive, which lead to lock-ups rather than more graceful error handling). Just plug in again. It sould restart transactions again in theory.. The driver freeze the CAM device queue if it losts the device, until the device come up again or the device doesn't come up after several bus resets. /\ Hidetoshi Shimokawa \/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP public key: http://www.sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~simokawa/pgp.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

Removing the firewire related lines from my kernel config allows it to run. Config (with the firewire stuff commented out), attached. I committed a fix to both -current and -stable. Please try it.
