Hi all, I just upgraded a bunch of boxes from FreeBSD 5.4 to 6.2. It went pretty smooth on most of them. One caused me a headache. I report the solution here, hoping it can save headache to somebody else and hoping that the more knowledgeable people than me on this list can help me understand the details of what happened and why it happened. In short: the devices were mixed up. Before the upgrade the box had two RAIDs and a single disk. After the upgrade and the installation of the appropriate driver from highpoint-tech.com two of three devices on the RR2220 were not properly recognized. Before the update: /dev/da0s1 RAID one partition covering the whole disk /dev/da1 RAID in dedicated mode /dev/da2s1 JBOD one partition covering the whole disk Update: * CVsup to 6.2, buildworld, buildkernel installkernel, mergemaster, installworld all went fine. * installed the latest driver for FreeBSD 6 from the manufacturer After the update: /dev/da0s1 RAID one partition covering the whole disk /dev/da1 can't read superblock /dev/da2s1 can't read superblock Solution: I used disktype to find out that da1 and da2 have been swapped! I updated /etc/fstab and the system is fine. Question: what has changed the device's order and why? thanks Yuv ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?
