I'm having a bit of a problem booting from an IBM disk hooked up to a Tekram 390u2w controller. At boot-time the controller refuses to load the BIOS and hence boot from the SCSI disk.

If it is some timing problem, using a different SCSI ID=20 for your disk can make difference. It is just guessing... If, for example, your disk is configured for a very low SCSI ID, I would=20 suggest you to configure it for some higher SCSI ID value and force the=20 BIOS to scan some (non existing) SCSI IDs before this one. Each SCSI ID scanned is about 250 ms elapsed. I haven't any better idea. May-be you already tried it. > According to the Tekram manual, this is normal if only a CD-ROM is > installed.

The server specs are PIII733/1024MB Ram/Adaptec 160/7x Seagate 18GB disks. The problem is the load. The load averages are between 20-30!!! I've started a discussion at the Diablo list, but they couldn't find anything strange. The machine is working, currently 30Mbit/s input and 80Mbit/s output, it's much, but shouldn't affect the load that much. On a previous server (PIII450/256MB RAM/Adaptec 2940) the load was around 2, which should be normal (also a bandwith eater..). I think the problem is the Adaptec 29160 (PCI64) adapter in combination with FreeBSD 4.2-REL. Or a kernel option I've forgotten ;) The server mainboard is a Micro with a ServerWorks chipset and 2 processors slots (only 1 used). I've disabled as much as possible in the kernel, even the SMP options (should these be enabled...). I've also enable softupdates on the spool and set the maxuser to 512 in the Kernel. An "iostat -d 1" looks good. Below I've attached the dmesg and a top. Please let me know if I've forgotten something or if you have any other options!

May-be you already tried it. There's so many BIOSes around that I get confused about who scans and what! With the Tekram card there's two different behaviour that I can actually see: 1) Occasionally things work as expected. Right after the regular BIOS, the Tekram SCSI BIOS kicks in and starts enumerating all the SCSI devices. After that, I get the normal responses from the boot blocks and I can boot from either an IDE disk or the IBM SCSI disk. 2) Most of the time, however the Tekram BIOS never shows up. Instead, I get the "NO BIOS disk found ..." message above. When this happens, I don't see the BIOS scanning anything and I'm only able to boot from IDE. I've switched around other ids but not the hard disk's. I'll try this yet. > > According to the Tekram manual, this is normal if only a CD-ROM is > > installed.

FBSD works extremely well with the whole SCSI chain. The sym driver has never produced any complaints at all and the IBM disk has been reliable as a data disk. No problems whatsoever. Even when at boot-up the BIOSes don't appear to play ball. I've done some elementary 'dd' testing and the SCSI drive comes up slightly slower than the IDE, but this most likely reflects the way I've done the testing, not some actual raw performance. My problem is that I simply don't know how for instance cabling and termination problems manifestate themselves. I'm I likely to see complaints from the driver first? Or could these go unnoticed to the driver and come up as possibly obscure performance problems or some such which would at least seem to be dependent on the phase of the moon? Just like my boot time problem appears to be. Settling this would eliminate cabling as one problem source and indeed would leave the BIOSes as the most likely candidate. Thanks a lot for your help.

Try omitting the -f parameter to tosha and thus dumping raw PCM files, and then burning them with the -swab parameter. That works for me (with a TEAC CD-R58S though). bye, Harold To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-scsi Fri Mar 23 12:12: 3 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from front4.grolier.fr (front4.grolier.fr [194.158.96.54]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7F93E37B719 for ; Fri, 23 Mar 2001 12:11:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from groudier@club-internet.fr) Received: from nas1-104.mea.club-internet.fr (nas1-104.mea.club-internet.fr [195.36.139.104]) by front4.grolier.fr (8.9.3/No_Relay+No_Spam_MGC990224) with ESMTP id VAA07007; Fri, 23 Mar 2001 21:11:46 +0100 (MET) Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 19:01:05 +0100 (CET) From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?G=E9rard_Roudier?= X-Sender: groudier@linux.local To: Robert Johannes Cc: freebsd-scsi Subject: Re: Understanding Bonnie results; In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE Sender: owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Fri, 23 Mar 2001, Robert Johannes wrote: > On linux, I can run hdparm -t to get roughly the transfer rate of a disk > in megabytes per second.

Just create a filesystem, mount it, cd to some directory on the mounted file system and run bonnie. > Ultimately, the reason I'm interested in this is because I suspect my > drive is actually slower in freebsd; it is a seagate barracuda attached Slower than what? FreeBSD and Linux haven't same caching policy. This may a lot bias benchmark results. The asynchronous read-ahead heuristic through the file system also differs and may also change the results. One O/S may be faster than the other for Read/Write bonnie benchmark for example.=20 If you want to post your results, just do... Btw, I can guess the differences between the 2 O/Ses. :) > to a tekram DC-390U2B, and using the sym driver.

You can get the full sustain data rate of a modern disk using actual IO chunks as small as 8k, or even 4K if the disk firmware is fast enough. Neither the O/S, the driver nor the controller is a bottleneck here. Just use dd with appropriate parameters. (your disk is supposed here to perform read prefetching, obviously). Btw, I have measured more than 15000 small IOs per second with a 895 under Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD using some sym driver version (other ncr/symbios driver haven't been that fast with my testings). Btw, if you also play with NetBSD, you may give a try with sym-2.1.8. :) G=E9rard. > Thanks > robert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-scsi Fri Mar 23 12:19:28 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from mass.dis.org (mass.dis.org [216.240.45.41]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6CA9937B71D; Fri, 23 Mar 2001 12:19:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from msmith@mass.dis.org) Received: from mass.dis.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mass.dis.org (8.11.2/8.11.2) with ESMTP id f2NBVgh03974; Fri, 23 Mar 2001 03:31:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from msmith@mass.dis.org) Message-Id: <200103231131.f2NBVgh03974@mass.dis.org> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 To: Alexey Koptsevich Cc: scsi@freebsd.org, questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: S.M.A.R.T.

I understand a LUN on a SCSI-3 device is 64 bits. However, The type of lun_id_t only supports 32 bits. If FreeBSD really accesses SCSI-3 devices where is the conversion of 32 bit cam_ccb entries to 64 bit LUN values on the SCSI bus occur? Also, is there any way to send a SCSI command with a 64 bit LUN on a SCSI bus Thank you.

CAM talks to lots of SCSI-3 devices. >I understand a LUN on a SCSI-3 device is 64 bits. This depends on the topology you are talking about. SPI - Lun is 6 bits unless you use packetized/infomation unit transfers which gives you access to the full 64bit lun. There are currently no devices on the market that support IUT. FC - FC looks a lot like packetized parallel SCSI. I believe it supports a 64bit lun. >However, The type of lun_id_t only supports 32 bits. If >FreeBSD really accesses SCSI-3 devices where is the conversion of >32 bit cam_ccb entries to 64 bit LUN values on the SCSI bus occur? We just don't fill in the top 4 bits on topologies that allow such large lun identifiers. For SPI, you can't address that high yet anyway. >Also, is there any way to send a SCSI command with a 64 bit >LUN on a SCSI bus Not yet. BTW, the work necessary to make the CAM layer fully SAM-2/SPI-4 compiliant is underway. I hope it will be completed for the 5.0 release. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
