Dear people-
I am running FreeBSD 2.2.1 on a 200 MHz Pentium system with 64 MB of RAM
and an Adaptec 2940 SCSI card. I have gotten "media error" several times
on a couple of Micropolis 9 GB (MICROP 1991-27) disk drives. So, I ran
scsiformat on both drives, with no reported errors. I then used /stand/
sysinstall to set up each drive as a single "C" partition. Finally, I
tried to newfs the drives (e.g., "newfs -m 5 /dev/rsd3c").
Both drives failed this procedure, hanging the machine (or at least the
SCSI bus) in the process. Specifically, newfs printed out a series of
perhaps hals a dozen super-block numbers, then hung. I was able to ping
the machine, but not to rlogin into it.
Help?
Yours, Rich Morin
P.S. I *know* I should install 2.2.5, but I'm waiting for a lull in
my other activities before I do this...
