That controller is not actually fitted to any drives, only the tape unit (DDS3). I actually have a Mylex Acceleraid170 board attached to the four Scsi drives creating a single drive volume. All seems to work fine but the boot up is painfully slow, for example:- /kernel: acd0: CDROM <TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E> at ata0-master using PIO4 /kernel: Waiting 3 seconds for SCSI devices to settle [Wait 2.5 minutes here, then] /kernel: mly0: physical device 0:6 sense data received /kernel: mly0: sense key 5 asc 00 ascq 00 /kernel: mly0: info 00000000 csi 00000000 [Wait a further 3 minutes here, then] /kernel: mly0: enclosure 6 unit 0 access offline Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a [Wait a further 2 minutes here then] /kernel: da0 at mly0 bus 1 target 0 lun 0 /kernel: da0: <RAID 5 online > Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device /kernel: da0: 135.168MB/s transfers /kernel: da0: 34688MB (71041024 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 4422C) [booting continues normally from here] Anyone any idea why this is all so slow? Not complaining too much since it works but I can't help thinking I've done something wrong because of this. fyi I'm running 4-STABLE [as of 12/12/2001] and it happens with both GENERIC and my custom kernel. Before going to STABLE I installed R4.3 from CDRom and it did the same there also (GENERIC and custom). cheers Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
