Problem is, the machine doesn't have an EFI BIOS and does *not* support GPT. So it will use the compatibility MBR of the GPT, I assume. And MBR isn't able to represent addresses beyond 2 TB, so the slice containing the boot partition will have to be within the first 2 TB of the drive, right? I tried to research the issue, but Google mostly returns pages concerning Linux that advise to use disks > 2 TB as data disks only while using a separate disk <= 2 TB for booting, unless you have an EFI BIOS that supports GPT natively.

We support booting from GPT without EFI. It will work fine. The BIOS will see a PMBR that does indeed only cover 2TB, but that doesn't matter. The whole point of the PMBR is to fool BIOSs. :) Tools that understand GPT (such as gpart) will see the GPT table and it's partitions. FreeBSD's GPT bootstrap code (/boot/pmbr and /boot/gptboot) will see the GPT and use 64-bit LBAs for all I/O, so they can handle the partition being anywhere on the disk. -- John Baldwin From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Sep 17 15:28:00 2012 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 19F0810657D0; Mon, 17 Sep 2012 15:28:00 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from olli@lurza.secnetix.de) Received: from lurza.secnetix.de (lurza.secnetix.de [IPv6:2a01:170:102f::2]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8CD048FC1A; Mon, 17 Sep 2012 15:27:59 +0000 (UTC) Received: from lurza.secnetix.de (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by lurza.secnetix.de (8.14.3/8.14.3) with ESMTP id q8HFRwDB048156; Mon, 17 Sep 2012 17:27:58 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from oliver.fromme@secnetix.de) Received: (from olli@localhost) by lurza.secnetix.de (8.14.3/8.14.3/Submit) id q8HFRw8q048154; Mon, 17 Sep 2012 17:27:58 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from olli) From: Oliver Fromme Message-Id: <201209171527.q8HFRw8q048154@lurza.secnetix.de> To: jhb@freebsd.org (John Baldwin) Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 17:27:57 +0200 (CEST) In-Reply-To: <201209170850.09992.jhb@freebsd.org> X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.5 PL8] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-4.3.9 (lurza.secnetix.de [127.0.0.1]); Mon, 17 Sep 2012 17:27:58 +0200 (CEST) Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Booting from 3TB drive (UFS, BIOS) X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 15:28:00 -0000 John Baldwin wrote: > On Monday, September 17, 2012 8:41:09 am Oliver Fromme wrote: > > Problem is, the machine doesn't have an EFI BIOS and does > > *not* support GPT.

The fact that the problem depends on the size of the window indicates that it is probably related to the 2D video acceleration, i.e. hardware scaler. I suspect that you're using software scaling. Please install the "xvinfo" tool from ports or packages. It displays the status of the XVideo extension. The output should look like this for hardware acceleration: X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 Adaptor #0: "Radeon Textured Video" Of course the string ("Radeon") may vary, depending on your graphics hardware. If you get an error message or a string indicating software rendering, then that's causing your video playback problem. In that case you should check your Xorg configuration and maybe update your Xorg video drivers. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.

Hi, Is it the card, or the MB that is beeping ?

If your chassis is the RM41416, or similar to it, then there'll be an 'alarm silence' button on the front. A bent paperclip will tell you if it's the chassis or PSU screaming. Is your PSU overloaded? I found that with 16x 7200RPM SAS disks and a dual socket motherboard with a "triple redundant" PSU, the total power consumption measured at the plug socket was something like 550W idle, 680W at full tilt. -- The information contained in this message is confidential and intended for the addressee only.

I guess you ran the command from a text mode console, or from an ssh session (without X redirection), or with a user not authorized to connect to the X server. In that case no X11 programs work, of course, and you will always get the above error message. You have to make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly (usually ":0", but it may be different). If you open a shell inside a terminal window (e.g. xterm or rxvt), $DISPLAY should already be correct, so please run the xvinfo command again inside a terminal window. If that still produces the same error message as above, try this: sh -c 'DISPLAY=:0 xvinfo' Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.

Thanks for your response. I'm hoping it's just a chassis alarm for a case fan. It looks like my chassis has that capability. I only have a single CPU 12 disk box with a 750w (I believe) PSU so I think it's not overloaded. Also the alarm came on at idle. I'm waiting for the next occurrence to see if I can diagnose further. -D From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Sep 19 15:03:05 2012 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 78210106564A for ; Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:03:05 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from mike@sentex.net) Received: from smarthost1.sentex.ca (smarthost1-6.sentex.ca [IPv6:2607:f3e0:0:1::12]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0F3F58FC0C for ; Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:03:04 +0000 (UTC) Received: from [192.168.43.26] (pyroxene.sentex.ca [199.212.134.18]) by smarthost1.sentex.ca (8.14.5/8.14.5) with ESMTP id q8JF2tj2063083; Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:02:55 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from mike@sentex.net) Message-ID: <5059DE8F.2050308@sentex.net> Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:02:39 -0400 From: Mike Tancsa Organization: Sentex Communications User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20120428 Thunderbird/12.0.1 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Dan Carroll References: <5058835D.4090307@dannysplace.net> <50589053.4070202@sentex.net> <5058DE26.3060704@dannysplace.net> <50598260.60006@icritical.com> <5059A6C6.60605@dannysplace.net> In-Reply-To: <5059A6C6.60605@dannysplace.net> X-Enigmail-Version: 1.4.2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.72 on 64.7.153.18 Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Supermicro X7SBE with Chenbro 16 bay 4U case X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:03:05 -0000 On 9/19/2012 7:04 AM, Dan Carroll wrote: > On 19/09/2012 6:29 PM, Matt Burke wrote: >> If your chassis is the RM41416, or similar to it, then there'll be an >> 'alarm silence' button on the front.

Perhaps you could slurp out some sensor logs that way ? e.g on some of my Supermicro boards, ipmitool -U ADMIN -I lan -H "sel" "list" also "sensor" and "sdr" will tell you some info like below (SuperMicro H8QG6) CPU1 Temp | 0 unspecified | ok CPU2 Temp | 0 unspecified | ok CPU3 Temp | 0 unspecified | ok CPU4 Temp | 0 unspecified | ok System Temp | 27 degrees C | ok CPU1 Vcore | 0.98 Volts | ok CPU2 Vcore | 0.98 Volts | ok CPU3 Vcore | 0.98 Volts | ok CPU4 Vcore | 0.98 Volts | ok CPU1 DIMM | 1.53 Volts | ok CPU2 DIMM | 1.53 Volts | ok CPU3 DIMM | 1.53 Volts | ok CPU4 DIMM | 1.53 Volts | ok +5V | 5.06 Volts | ok +12V | 12.08 Volts | ok +3.3V | 3.24 Volts | ok +3.3VSB | 3.31 Volts | ok VBAT | 3.17 Volts | ok Fan1 | 9315 RPM | ok Fan2 | 9315 RPM | ok Fan3 | 9315 RPM | ok Fan4 | 9315 RPM | ok Fan5 | 10530 RPM | ok Fan6 | 9315 RPM | ok Fan7 | no reading | ns Fan8 | no reading | ns Fan9 | no reading | ns Fan10 | 6480 RPM | ok Fan11 | no reading | ns Intrusion | 0 unspecified | nc PS Status | 0 unspecified | ok I think the default pass is ADMIN 1 | 01/01/2007 | 00:00:27 | Physical Security #0xaa | General Chassis intrusion | Asserted 2 | 07/12/2012 | 12:03:44 | Physical Security #0xaa | General Chassis intrusion | Asserted 3 | 07/17/2012 | 14:01:03 | Physical Security #0xaa | General Chassis intrusion | Deasserted 4 | 07/17/2012 | 14:01:06 | Physical Security #0xaa | General Chassis intrusion | Asserted 5 | 07/20/2012 | 07:57:02 | Physical Security #0xaa | General Chassis intrusion | Deasserted 6 | 07/20/2012 | 07:57:05 | Physical Security #0xaa | General Chassis intrusion | Asserted 7 | 07/21/2012 | 16:55:02 | Physical Security #0xaa | General Chassis intrusion | Deasserted CPU1 Temp | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0000| na | na | na | na | na | na CPU2 Temp | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0000| na | na | na | na | na | na CPU3 Temp | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0000| na | na | na | na | na | na CPU4 Temp | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0000| na | na | na | na | na | na System Temp | 28.000 | degrees C | ok | -9.000 | -7.000 | -5.000 | 75.000 | 77.000 | 79.000 CPU1 Vcore | 0.976 | Volts | ok | 0.808 | 0.816 | 0.824 | 1.352 | 1.360 | 1.368 CPU2 Vcore | 0.976 | Volts | ok | 0.808 | 0.816 | 0.824 | 1.352 | 1.360 | 1.368 CPU3 Vcore | 0.976 | Volts | ok | 0.808 | 0.816 | 0.824 | 1.352 | 1.360 | 1.368 CPU4 Vcore | 0.976 | Volts | ok | 0.808 | 0.816 | 0.824 | 1.352 | 1.360 | 1.368 CPU1 DIMM | 1.528 | Volts | ok | 1.184 | 1.200 | 1.216 | 1.648 | 1.664 | 1.680 CPU2 DIMM | 1.528 | Volts | ok | 1.184 | 1.200 | 1.216 | 1.648 | 1.664 | 1.680 CPU3 DIMM | 1.528 | Volts | ok | 1.184 | 1.200 | 1.216 | 1.648 | 1.664 | 1.680 CPU4 DIMM | 1.528 | Volts | ok | 1.184 | 1.200 | 1.216 | 1.648 | 1.664 | 1.680 +5V | 5.056 | Volts | ok | 4.416 | 4.448 | 4.480 | 5.536 | 5.568 | 5.600 +12V | 12.084 | Volts | ok | 10.600 | 10.653 | 10.706 | 13.250 | 13.303 | 13.356 +3.3V | 3.240 | Volts | ok | 2.880 | 2.904 | 2.928 | 3.648 | 3.672 | 3.696 +3.3VSB | 3.312 | Volts | ok | 2.880 | 2.904 | 2.928 | 3.648 | 3.672 | 3.696 VBAT | 3.168 | Volts | ok | 2.880 | 2.904 | 2.928 | 3.648 | 3.672 | 3.696 Fan1 | 9315.000 | RPM | ok | 405.000 | 540.000 | 675.000 | 34155.000 | 34290.000 | 34425.000 Fan2 | 9315.000 | RPM | ok | 405.000 | 540.000 | 675.000 | 34155.000 | 34290.000 | 34425.000 Fan3 | 9315.000 | RPM | ok | 405.000 | 540.000 | 675.000 | 34155.000 | 34290.000 | 34425.000 Fan4 | 9315.000 | RPM | ok | 405.000 | 540.000 | 675.000 | 34155.000 | 34290.000 | 34425.000 Fan5 | 9315.000 | RPM | ok | 405.000 | 540.000 | 675.000 | 34155.000 | 34290.000 | 34425.000 Fan6 | 9315.000 | RPM | ok | 405.000 | 540.000 | 675.000 | 34155.000 | 34290.000 | 34425.000 Fan7 | na | RPM | na | 405.000 | 540.000 | 675.000 | 34155.000 | 34290.000 | 34425.000 Fan8 | na | RPM | na | 405.000 | 540.000 | 675.000 | 34155.000 | 34290.000 | 34425.000 Fan9 | na | RPM | na | 405.000 | 540.000 | 675.000 | 34155.000 | 34290.000 | 34425.000 Fan10 | 6480.000 | RPM | ok | 405.000 | 540.000 | 675.000 | 34155.000 | 34290.000 | 34425.000 Fan11 | na | RPM | na | 405.000 | 540.000 | 675.000 | 34155.000 | 34290.000 | 34425.000 Intrusion | 0.000 | unspecified | nc | na | na | na | na | na | na PS Status | 0.000 | unspecified | ok | na | na | na | na | na | na 0(backup3)% ---Mike > > -D > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hardware-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/ From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Sep 19 21:35:38 2012 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 06F01106566B for ;

I have recently updated to the new ATA system and I have a problem in = that the SATA discs on my Promise PDC40718 controller do not spin down = on power off. This operated perfectly before using the old ATA system. After all buffers have synced, I get messages of the following ilk (hand = transcribed unfortunately): (ada1:ata3:0:0:0): STANDBY_IMMEDIATE.

I have a super micro server with this controller : http://www.addonics.com/products/adsa3gpx8-4e.php Connected to and Addonics storage rack via 4 eSata ports and port multipliers to 10 disks using ZFS. It has been working fine but lately I have been experience some issues with channel timeout and disk just disappearing from the pool. I already posted another thread about that but looks like no one has clue about what the errors means so I decided to swap controllers with a spare one and same issue. So now I have decided to buy a real controller, Areca or LSI for the server but I need one that is port multiplier compatible and with external esata connectors. I just one a very good controller ( not super expensive) that has good drivers for freebsd and that can give me reliable tools to diagnose hardrive failures and diagnostics. I have the possibility to move to iSCSI too using an addonics module for that so I could move to a different setup but I don't know is I will have any benefit on I/O speed doing that or not. If someone can give me some advice I will really appreciate. Thanks.

Not sure about the eSata ports, but we are testing the newer 3ware controllers (9750) that use the tws driver. Its a SAS controller, but you can use SATA drives on them. They seem to be quite fast! In the past, we have used the twe and twa based controllers from 3ware and have had very good results with them over the years. The monitoring facilities are great (CLI and web based). We have had drive failures over the years, and replacing them has been painless We also use a number of the older series Areca cards (ARC-1210) and they too have been solid. The monitoring daemon is a little quirky at first, but it works well as does the CLI tool. I havent tried any of their newer SAS controllers, but they use the same arcmsr driver which is actively maintained by Areca. In short, I think you would do really well with either card. ---Mike -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/ From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Sep 22 08:39:18 2012 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5B0B5106564A for ; Sat, 22 Sep 2012 08:39:18 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from thciobanu@nth.ro) Received: from mail-wi0-f178.google.com (mail-wi0-f178.google.com [209.85.212.178]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D0AF68FC08 for ; Sat, 22 Sep 2012 08:39:17 +0000 (UTC) Received: by wibhr14 with SMTP id hr14so2292212wib.13 for ; Sat, 22 Sep 2012 01:39:16 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=nth.ro; s=ga; h=date:from:to:cc:subject:message-id:in-reply-to:references:x-mailer :mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding; bh=2pBb5q451FaWADlnxIjG/7c8zhR25k233oPGf87MC84=; b=ZXRmDy9idxKW8cEV7mlAvFlnQgjRO5a5JI1sW5qjwmDOdjQNUTrSxpaypBKDedP9oi lbTZ8/UZPPTL08y5jVc1g2n/p9rivTfFpJk1tG4MhPUJ1QqT+FGSs4yf/AwuDtNLHh/1 NCvtCxdgHw0mbFv4XIsENswpFszTl2Aqmu4Us= X-Google-DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=google.com; s=20120113; h=date:from:to:cc:subject:message-id:in-reply-to:references:x-mailer :mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding :x-gm-message-state; bh=2pBb5q451FaWADlnxIjG/7c8zhR25k233oPGf87MC84=; b=eDPfFDG+8VF3fCQzUUktATCkLa2h87RHzgaamSrqZJGHxxPrMJWxxQU3wzreRfsj1O rXERx/3+6H01P11Cw6D3CpehGBiER9ZvtzFPvP88UYbBhgtxx+RXNjrymcgxxdZCFNuO AD8Fxvm1ZYa86yU2nARNFuSJ1VHdC2sojQ99nqnlGnoa1a7jRcVKJ23Gzc2q/LhbDKaK hK7kvMQRcBDheNNQnF/xQ511bxhcpU9DR9wS93/hkbY85L9oP1bGGOFiBes4hu2O5hvB brVAdGeOga1hHePY+fSscaC0CWiMcIxiZ0L479vx7Wjig+7mEIIAqJ9LEQOoqQk4Ufa6 fJKA== Received: by 10.216.206.209 with SMTP id l59mr4082720weo.217.1348303156278; Sat, 22 Sep 2012 01:39:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from unknown ([188.26.92.99]) by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id b7sm2683416wiz.9.2012.09.22.01.39.15 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=OTHER); Sat, 22 Sep 2012 01:39:15 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2012 11:39:27 +0300 From: Theodor-Iulian Ciobanu To: "Pepe (Jose) Amengual" Message-ID: <20120922113927.00007ff3@unknown> In-Reply-To: References: X-Mailer: Claws Mail 3.7.8 (GTK+ 2.24.8; i686-pc-mingw32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Gm-Message-State: ALoCoQkiAWM+De2GjNAxk/ozz6JoJICedXg1JS9NsZOUCkK5Zffj8DbQriXcBD2JoePb5p0i9VRg Cc: freebsd-hardware Subject: Re: Which one has better support for FreeBSD , LSI or Areca ? with multiport support X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2012 08:39:18 -0000 On Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:25:22 -0700 "Pepe (Jose) Amengual" wrote: > Hi Guys. > > I have a super micro server with this controller : > > http://www.addonics.com/products/adsa3gpx8-4e.php Controler> > > Connected to and Addonics storage rack via 4 eSata ports and port > multipliers to 10 disks using ZFS. > > It has been working fine but lately I have been experience some > issues with channel timeout and disk just disappearing from the pool. > I already posted another thread about that but looks like no one has > clue about what the errors means so I decided to swap controllers > with a spare one and same issue. > > So now I have decided to buy a real controller, Areca or LSI for the > server but I need one that is port multiplier compatible and with > external esata connectors. > > I just one a very good controller ( not super expensive) that has good > drivers for freebsd and that can give me reliable tools to diagnose > hardrive failures and diagnostics. > > I have the possibility to move to iSCSI too using an addonics module > for that so I could move to a different setup but I don't know is I > will have any benefit on I/O speed doing that or not. > > If someone can give me some advice I will really appreciate. > > Thanks. After moving away from Windows I also moved away from Areca, as I found poor support for it, although the drivers are official: - no hotplug (new discs were not picked up automatically, I had to reboot) - low transfer speeds (I found it bottlenecking at ~200MB/s, with Ultrastar 3TB discs being detected as SATA1) And Areca is actually the reason I moved to FreeBSD in the first place. After the v1.49 firmware update on my 1280s and 1880s, rebuild times increased to unacceptable values (what would before take ~1day would now require 1-2 weeks). When contacted, Areca's support told me they didn't notice any slowdowns with the latest fw version, any problems I had must be on my part. So I gave up on hardware raid and moved to ZFS. And if you really want to be pedantic about it, Areca are using LSI chipsets as well now, so why not just buy directly from them? -- Theo
