I noticed that in your email.  Maybe I'll sit down on a rainy day and
finish the software RAID5 support, and you can add XOR offloading
later...

Good! If you look carefull you can see that RAID5 support has stepped

I've fixed a few nits with the rebuild stuff, if I dont find any real 
showstoppers I'll porbably commit it after eastern...

Since I have reported this problem with the previous version of the
patch, I would like to confirm that with this version my PCMCIA-to-CF
adapter works properly.

Thank you,

I've done some preparatory work to adapt ATAPI/CAM for mkII, which is not
completed yet. I hope to have some time to work on it in early April.

This is great! Thanks for the work.

Any report on whether Thomas has ATAPICAM ready to work with this? While
I know a lot of people don't care about it, quite a few use tools which
depend on it and its loss can be a real problem, especially if it
happens in Stable. (I realize stable is not an issue at this time, but I
hope it will be soon as ATA mkIII seems like a really big improvement.)

Great work SÃren, it's working so far.

And this issue is solved (tested like before with DDB access, and "call
doadump").
I dunno yet if it fixes dumping on panic too (which is an issue of the
original ata)

UPDATE3: ATA mkIII official patches - please test!

2005-03-22 Thread Søren Schmidt
New version available for testing:
http://people.freebsd.org/~sos/ata-mk3m.diff-releng5.gz
http://people.freebsd.org/~sos/ata-mk3m.diff-current.gz
http://people.freebsd.org/~sos/ata-mk3m.tar.gz
This time the diff must be reapplied as there are new changes in there.
Items in this release:
o   Dumping to disk fixed.
o   PCCARD probing fixed.
o   PC98 probing and modules fixed.
o   Support for "atomic" composite ATA requests
o   Support for "addspare" to an ATA PseudoRAID array
o   Support for "rebuild" of an ATA PseudoRAID array.
Note that this is now done differently from the old system as
the rebuild is now done piggybacked on read requests to the
array, so atacontrol simply starts a background "dd" to rebuild
the array.
If I dont get any significant showstopper reports this is what will get 
committed to -current soon (plus what I might get done until then of new 
features).

This WARNING still applies:
One warning applies to both this and the last snapshot. I accidentially
released the RAID5 test code I had in there which allows to apparently 
use a RAID5 array. However it *ONLY* reads and writes the data part, it 
does *NOT* maintain the parity part. That means it will trash a RAID5 
array for later real use as the parity wont match the data one there.
Since the code is "out there" I've decided to let it stay, as it allows 
for testing of getting and using the metadata etc..
I'll probably just disable that code when it goes into -current but for 
now its in there for testing purposes.

As usual use at your own risk, but feedback on this is very welcomed.
Big thanks to all those that has participated so far!
Enjoy!
