Hi,
I'm attaching a new SCSI disk to my FreeBSD 2.2.8-stable box. There's
already one SCSI disk in there, which works fine.
This should be simple.
The disk is attached. It's terminated properly (I've *triple checked*
this). It's recognised at boot time as
(ncr0:1:0): "SEAGATE ST34520W 1444" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd1(ncr0:1:0): Direct-Access
sd1(ncr0:1:0): WIDE SCSI (16 bit) enabled
sd1(ncr0:1:0): 40.0 MB/s (50 ns, offset 15)
The SCSI ID doesn't clash (the other disk is ID 0, the adapter is ID 7).
All that remains is to label it and add a filesystem.
# sh /dev/MAKEDEV/sd1
[...]
# disklabel -w sd1 auto
disklabel: No space left on device
Uh, what?
# disklabel -w -r sd1 auto
disklabel: /dev/rsd1c: Undefined error: 0
That's not supposed to happen. On the off chance, I tried reading;
# disklabel sd1
disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument
And I can't dd(1) to it either. . .
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd1c
dd: /dev/rsd1c: end of device
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
Reading the label on the other SCSI disk works without a problem.
Anyone got any ideas? Or is this disk DOA and I should get a replacement?
Cheers,
N
