The following reply was made to PR kern/15611; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Wes Bauske" <wsb@paralleldata.com> To: mjacob@FreeBSD.org Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, rjbubon@bigi.com Subject: Re: kern/15611: EIDE Large Disk Support, Newfs problem, File system corruption,IBM-DPTA-353750 Date: Sun, 26 Dec 1999 18:37:11 -0600 Matt, OK. I assume you also wrote some significant files onto it?? I wrote a 2GB file for testing. The file system does create most of the time. It's only when you start writing data to it that there's trouble. Also, if your single file system works, then it may be something to do with my layout. To recap, I have 2 slices, one is 1GB with 128MB swap, and the rest root(/) and the other slice contains a single FS of around 38GB as work space for my application. I'm running pure 3.3 from the Walnut Creek CD, no updates. I haven't made any further progress at this point. I do know that once I exceeded 32GB for the FS in the second slice, I trashed the first slice. By that, I mean root was hosed complaining about I-node problems on reboot and dropping to a shell to "fix" it but I had no idea what would fix thousands of I-node errors so I just re-installed. As I mentioned, this is my first FreeBSD install so if there's something I'm assuming that is incorrect, like the above slice layout for example, let me know. Interesting that FreeBSD questioned the geometry. I have Linux on another partition and it's fdisk complains about the 40GB drive on the second IDE channel's geometry but not the ones on the first IDE channel. (I have 3 40GB drives on this box for tests) Did you put your test drive on the secondary IDE channel?? Also, what about forcing the driver to use LBA mode? I tried that but might not have done it correctly and it still failed. I used 0xf0ff for the flag. Get's tiring to reinstall the OS after each test.
