Original post to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:
I am in the process of setting up a file server with a RAID array. Here
are my system specs
FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE
Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra/Ultra W
CMD CRD-5440-104
I read all the information available at http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/raid/
and attempted to setup my system as per that document. I disabled "allow
disconnects" in my Adaptec SCSI controller and I added the code to my
sys/cam/cam_xpt.c as specified in the above document. I recompiled my
kernel with 'device pass0' as well.
Having done this, FreeBSD detected the RAID array with no problem and
assigned it to da1 (I have my boot drive on da0). I then entered
/stand/sysinstall and ran the fdisk utility. I setup one slice/partition
using the "dangerously dedicated" setting. I wrote these changes and
entered the 'Label' utility in /stand/sysinstall. I created one
partition using all available space, and this is where I ran into
problems.
As the 'Label' utility began to create my partition, I started getting
the following error on the console...
Unexpected busfree. LASTPHASE == 0x40
seqaddr == 0x10f
This message continued to show up with slightly different hex values. I
let it run for a while but found my system resources being drained to
the point that I could not even log in at the console. I aborted the
'Label' utility and ran fsck. Many errors were reported on my boot drive
(da0) and many more continued to be reported after multiple executions
of fsck. I may need to reinstall my system from scratch as I am unable
to get rid of the "***** FILE SYSTEM STILL DIRTY *****" messages upon
running fsck.
Finally, what I would like to know is...what is going wrong and how can
I fix it? Any ideas?
