For testing I started out with 4 SCSI disks and built a stripped plex and everything worked great. This config had 2 drives in the chassis and 2 drives in an external case. So I get a 4-connector SCSI cable for the chassis and add two more SCSI drives (that I've previously formatted and put ufs on). FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE boots and recognizes all the drives (see dmesg at end). When I edited the disklabel (disklabel -e da4) I didn't see the (e: .... 4.2BSD ...) setting under "unused". I thought that odd because I've previously formatted, partitioned, labeled, mounted, and tested every drive. So I thought I'd let sysinstall have at it put ufs on again, just to make sure. So I redo the partitioning and labeling and I still have vinum running on 4 disks and the two new ones are mounted separately. I went to disklabel again and still no 4.2BSD setting. So now I think it must need to be re- formatted. So I fire off camcontrol #camcontrol format da4; camcontrol format da5 and see: camcontrol: cam_real_open_device: couldn't open passthrough device /dev/pass4 cam_real_open_device: No such file or directory camcontrol: cam_real_open_device: couldn't open passthrough device /dev/pass5 cam_real_open_device: No such file or directory Now I'm really confused! Why can I not see the 4.2BSD disklabel? Until I can set that, I won't be able to create a vinum volume. Ultimately I want a 7 drive vinum volume but cannot get past 4 drives. Your help is greatly appreciated... -- Regards, Doug dmsg snippits: FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0: Sat Mar 3 08:57:02 CST 2001 root@judeah.polands.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz CPU: Overdrive Pentium/P55C (180.00-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x1543 Stepping = 3 Features=0x8001bf ... ahc0: port 0xf800-0xf8ff mem 0xfedfe000-0xfedfefff irq 10 at device 13.0 on pci0 aic7860: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/255 SCBs ...
