  You are using unsupported stuff.  OpenBSD will not support IM until someone
  unslacks and adds it to the driver.
 so finally do it - you have been promising that to our users for two 
 releases now.

oups, thas was not supposed to go to the list

Integrated Mirroring.
LSI cards that I tested work fine under OBSD, but 
not the IM support. It is not there yet. If you 
can -even- get it to mirror, performance is quite sub par. (at this point)

Yes it *seems* to work ok if I use the disks as single disks without mirroring 
or striping. Do you think there are any drawbacks with the card if I just 
skip mirroring?  Can you trust the card? Is it just if IM is set up that 
causes problem?


Thanks in advance

I dont recall *any* issue with running these 
cards under openbsd as long as the mirror was not used.
There was no drawback. As an alternative...if you 
use equal disks, you can slice and dice them (the 
same as the main one) and then run rsync as often 
as you like to create a pseudo 'offline' mirror. 
Thats what I do with IDE machinesand the nice 
thing, is that unlike a mirror...if I delete 
something I can still grab it off the 2nd drive 
as long as I hit it before the cron rsync runs :-)


If I did have any issue (I really cant recall) it 
would be on the mailing list archives.

Symbios Logic 53C1030 error

2005-11-07 Thread Per-Olov Sjöholm
Hi misc


I have a server with a on board Symbios Logic 53C1030. I have set up mirroring 
and tried OpenBSD 3.8. When I start the installer and say I want the whole 
disk for OpenBSD I can see:

Putting all of sd0 into an active OpenBSD MBR partition (type 
'A6')...fdisk:DIOCGDINFO: Input/output error

dmesg output goes here:
(sorry for just attaching a part of it. I wrote it down by hand. I can if more 
is needed fix this.)
mpt0 at pci2 dev8 function 0 Symbios Logic 53c1030 rev 0x08: irq 11
mpt0: IM support: 6
scsibus0 at mpt0: 16 targets
sd0(mpt0:0:0): mpt0: timeout on request index=0xfe, seq=0x008a
mpt0: status 0x, Mask 0x0001, Doorbell 0x2400
mpt0: request state: On chip
sd0: drive offline



However... I can still partion and install the OS (even though it says drive 
offline). But the last partion in the table e which is /home (rest of the 
disk) failed. When I skipped that I could install the OS. When the OS was up 
I logged in to try to partition the rest of the disk as /home. When I did a 
newfs on it it yelled about write error on block x. If I took a smaller 
piece for /home it went ok. So far I thougt that there actually was some real 
error on the disk. So I removed one disk at the time and reinstalled the OS 
on a single disk. But it seems to yell for write errors on different places 
(often near the last block). But the OS seems to work OK if only the 
partitioning for the core OS partitions are OK.

When an error comes during a newfs it says:
sd0(mpt0:0:0): Check Condition (error 0x70) on opcode 0x2a
SENSE KEY: Illegal REquest
ASC/ASCQ: ASC 0x21 ASCQ 0x00
And then is also yell about the write error on block 



What is happening here?


Thanks in advance
