Two 30.6 Seagate Barracuda hard drives conected to the 3ware controlled. One Generic CDROM conected to the onboard IDE controller. I've even broken down and read 3Ware's user guide.

Thanks Mike, Just so I'm clear here. 1) When you say profiling, you're talking about the initial array set up done after pushing Alt-3? And you're suggesting rebooting the machine before it gets to 100%? 2) Allow profiling to complete, but leave the installer on the first screen ("skip kernel configuration.....") until drives are idle.

Give the RAID 0 a try and see if it makes a difference-- the speed is certainly there anyways. Do you have the latest firmware from them BTW ?

Also that "INIT Array (after F8)" is gone from the boot message. And it only took a few minutes to do newfs as opposed to over an hour. Now on to the next problem. When setting it up this way the controller is unable to "verify" the array (from the "Maintain Array" menu). I tried testing the fault tolerance, by unplugging one of the drives while the system was off. It came back up in degraded mode alright, but I have been unable to get the array to rebuild. Right now I'm getting this message from the controller during boot: 3ware Storage Controller BIOS BEXX 1.03.00.019 Array Unit 0 - Mirror 30.6 GB Rebuilding (after F8) Port 0 - ST330630A 30.6 GB Port 1 - ST330630A 30.6 GB I've tried rebuilding the degraded array both with new (identical) hard drives as well as with the one I unplugged, so far no luck. I'm trying again with a fresh drive and I stopped the OS from loading in case it's a similar issue. I don't really hear much disk activity but it might be doing something. I'll let it sit over night, just in case. Think there's any chance I got one of those "southern hemisphere" controllers and don't have my box properly oriented? ~B ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brandon S.

The newfs issue tends to be misleading; it's not representative of the performance of the controller at all. If you newfs a redundant array that's background-initialising, it's slow. (Slower than it really should be, IMO.) However the real killer is that newfs uses the physio interface, and that runs into this issue from the twe(4) manpage: BUGS ... The controller cannot handle I/O transfers that are not aligned to a 512-byte boundary. In order to support raw device access from user- space, the driver will perform alignment fixup on non-aligned data. This process is inefficient, and thus in order to obtain best performance us- er-space applications accessing the device should do so with aligned buffers. Newfs doesn't use aligned buffers... -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.

Yes, on both counts. I'm not 100% certain of the second method, as it's only been reported to me as working, but I have verified the first method in the lab. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.

Thanks for pointing this out. One thing that is not clear to me, how does this explain the very poor performance in bonnie ?

I'm looking to replace the current controller with one that is known to work without problems under FreeBSD. Here's some background; I have a production machine (FreeBSD 4) that is in desperate need of a hardware upgrade. One of our business associates sent over a Dell PowerEdge 6300. I know very little about this machine. Here's what logs at boot time; /kernel: ahc0: port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xfea02000-0xfea02fff irq 11 at device 4.0 on pci1 /kernel: ahc0: aic7890/91 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs /kernel: ahc1: port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xfea01000-0xfea01fff irq 10 at device 6.0 on pci1 /kernel: ahc1: aic7890/91 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs /kernel: ahc2: port 0xe400-0xe4ff mem 0xfea00000-0xfea00fff irq 14 at device 8.0 on pci1 /kernel: ahc2: aic7860 Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/255 SCBs /kernel: pcib2: on motherboard /kernel: pci2: on pcib2 /kernel: amr0: port 0xfc80-0xfcff irq 5 at device 3.0 on pci2 /kernel: amr0: firmware Uc77 bios 1.47 32MB memory /kernel: amrd0: on amr0 /kernel: amrd0: 34272MB (70189056 sectors) RAID 5 (optimal) When I look at the PCI bus I see only two cards, one rather small 10/100 Ethernet card, and one extremely large card that I assume is the RAID controller. (It has a large Intel i960 chip, two small SCSI-2 connectors, and a cable to the media cage.) Long story short, when running under this hardware the amr device wedges on 4.1-STABLE (from yesterday). I need to get this machine up with 64 k RAID 5 striping across it's 5 disks as soon as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not on the list, so please send replies directly to me.

A quick note on this method. Given the notes I had read about letting the controller initialize I tried the following: After doing Alt3 I let it boot prior to trying to install FreeBSD. I thought the controller would start on it's own so even though the computer wa sitting with a "no boot disk error" I thought it would be initializing. I left the computer like this for a day. Upon returning I rebooted and found that the RAID1 had still not been initialized. Called 3ware and they said that once the device tried to be accessed that it would start initializing. Started the FreeBSD install to the point where i asked me for media type. At this stage the twe driver has tried to access the disks and the init process has started. Given the advice to let it complete before proceeding I did that. While I was at the office about 6 hours had elapsed and it was still going (if you have the machine open you can see the controller lights). Next morning the lights were off. Continued the FreeBSD install and all seemed well. I only played briefly yesterday. Ran Bonnie and RAID0 seemed about twice as fast. RAID1 seemed about 20% faster. I will do some more tests today and by the weekend I will post all the results. francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Sep 7 18:27:37 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from smtp1.sentex.ca (smtp1.sentex.ca [199.212.134.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 41F3937B446 for ; Thu, 7 Sep 2000 18:27:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from chimp.simianscience.com (cage.simianscience.com [64.7.134.1]) by smtp1.sentex.ca (8.11.0/8.11.0) with SMTP id e881Q5F60042; Thu, 7 Sep 2000 21:26:05 -0400 (EDT) From: mike@sentex.net (Mike Tancsa) To: fran@reyes.somos.net ("Francisco Reyes") Cc: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Problems installing 4.1 on 3ware RAID 5200 & 6200 Date: Fri, 08 Sep 2000 01:21:03 GMT Message-ID: <39b83e75.1385408832@smtp.sentex.ca> References: <200009041935.MAA05083@mass.osd.bsdi.com> In-Reply-To: X-Mailer: Forte Agent .99e/32.227 Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On 7 Sep 2000 10:03:53 -0400, in sentex.lists.freebsd.hardware you wrote: >I only played briefly yesterday.

Than before you mean ? Can you by chance do >a bonnie on the individual drive on an ata33 controller >bonnie on the same drives in RAID0, RAID1 ? My initial tests were off the MB controller. I will post all the details and configuration when i have all the results, but basically I did some bonnie test on 3 drives. 1 7200RPM ATA66 and 2 5400RPM ATA66. I did 256MB and 1000MB tests. The reason I only did one 7200RPM is because I had not installed the second 7200RPM by the time of the test. The 5400RPM were set on a RAID 1 and the 7200RPM on a RAID 0. I have yet another 3Ware card that I have to install this weekend (a 2 port). I am hoping to have all tests by monday somewhere on a web page for all interested. I would also welcome suggestions for tests.. although it is a bit late since now I built the array.. but I have more computers coming with 3ware that I may need to re-do. I tried looking at the ports and Bonnie seems the most appropiate. I tried a couple of others and either didn't like them or the results were not very good... ie. the byte "native" tests has 2 comparison numbers from supposedly previous tests and the faster CPU had slower marks, yet my machine which was faster than both had higher numbers. In other words a faster CPU is supposed to have higher number, yet their reference machines failed that principle. francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Fri Sep 8 1:27:46 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from relay.infotel.ru (relay.infotel.ru [195.170.200.65]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7004B37B423; Fri, 8 Sep 2000 01:27:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from krsk.infotel.ru ([195.161.20.246]) by relay.infotel.ru (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id MAA19669; Fri, 8 Sep 2000 12:27:37 +0400 Received: from priem ([195.170.199.38]) by krsk.infotel.ru (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id QAA02954; Fri, 8 Sep 2000 16:14:41 +0700 Message-ID: <001301c01976$a3a4dd60$0509a8c0@priem.nifti.krasnoyarsk.su> From: "nifti" To: Cc: Subject: Driver for FUJITSU MO 640Mb device ?

I sell systems, http://freebsdsystems.com and when I send out RAID systems, using FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE (as of now) they all work properly. Maybe you should contact Dell. Hope that helps you out. Oh by the way, I use Mylex lbd Raid and it works like a charm. As far as dell goes, I have no clue as to their motherboards or serverboards as they are all proprietary. I use only Intel serverboards.

I've compiled the agp module statically into the kernel and installed Xfree86 4.0.1 from the latest XFree86-4 port. This is on a FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE box, but I'm sending this message to -stable as the agp module doesn't seem to have changed since -RELEASE came out. When I run X or startx, X seems to start ok, I see the normal X startup stuff flash pass the screen and then the screen goes blank and the box locks up. Can't telnet to it (but can ping it). I have dmesg output, XFree86.0.log output and the XF86Config file if anyone would like to see them. Any suggestions as to what the problem is or what my next debugging step would be?

Now that I have 4.1R in hand, and a few spare cycles; I thought I'd give it another try in the hope that 4.1 would give me better results. It didn't. And it also reported a "could not map" problem for the UHCI controller. (4.0 may have also done that - I didn't really notice.) But this time I tried a few more things. It turns out that turning 'Plug and Play OS' OFF in the BIOS fixed both problems. The Hitachi is now happily CVSupping -stable via it's built-in Ethernet port. So I thought I'd follow up to my original question in case it is of help to anyone else. -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
