Hello,
Seems my new FreeBSD system can't mount from my RAID controller.
Just installed FreeBSD 4.6.2 on a shiny new box with a Promise Fasttrack
100 onboard ATA RAID controller.
The OS seems to recognize the array no problem:
ar0: 38166MB ,ATA RAID1 array. [4865/255/63] status: READY subdisks:
0 READY ad4: 38166MB <WDC WD400BB-00DEA0> [77545/16/63] at ata2-master ~
UDMA 100
0 READY ad6: 38166MB <WDC WD400BB-00DEA0> [77545/16/63] at ata3-master ~
UDMA 100
But when I boot the system I just get the old:
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
mountroot>
So I do what it says:
mountroot>ufs:/dev/ar0s1a <<--- I can use ar0, ar0s1, ar0s1a: same effect
Oct 3 23:00:17 init: login_getclass: unknown class 'daemon'
/etc/rc: Can't open /etc/rc: No such file or directory
Oct 3 23:00:17 init: /etc/spwd.db: No such file or directory
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
So it looks like only the / fs mounted. So I mount the rest by hand:
# mount /dev/ar0s1e /var
# mount /dev/ar0s1f /etc
# mount /dev/ar0s1g /usr
But then when I check to see what happened:
# mount
/dev/ar0s1a on / (ufs, local, read-only)
/dev/ar0s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ar0s1f on /etc (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ar0s1g on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
So it only mounts / read-only ... what's up with that?
Any advice on how to get the system to automatically mount the filesystems
we defined greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- nick
