Horton" X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (WinNT; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: 2.2.8-RELEASE and SCSI problem Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello all, I have been configuring a 2.2.8-RELEASE machine to take the place of my NetBSD 1.3.2 NFS server. The NetBSD machine has an Adaptec 2940-UW controller connected to a disk silo with an Adaptec AEC-4412BS SCSI to SCSI RAID canister with 8 9 gig drives attached, configured as RAID5 with hot spare. To the 2940-UW, the "drive" looks like one large 53 gig disk. NetBSD has not been as stable as we had hoped, and I wanted to put the FreeBSD machine in its place. When I try to mount the array like so: mount /dev/sd0a /mntwhatever I get this error: sd0: Can't deal with 201 bytes logical blocks and obviously the mount doesn't happen. My questions: 1) why is this happening? 2) what are my options (can we tweak some code to get this functional, NetBSD can handle it, why can't we? Am I going to have to backup my array and format it? Can FreeBSD even handle SCSI drives this large?) 3) Are NetBSD filesystems compatible with FreeBSD(all sources report that it is)??? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
