[-- Attachment #1 --] have a couple mylex extremeraid 2000 cards in a system that i'd like to switch from linux to freebsd and use as a file server. couple problems come with that desire though. it seem that the driver has a lot of problems communicating with the controllers at boot. the only thing i've had work so far is to have 1 disk array defined over 1 channel. it boots somewhat reasonably like this. if i add more disk arrays to other channels on the same controller or add another controller with more disk arrays attached to it, the system takes a very very _v_e_r_y_ long time to boot... if i have the patience to wait 20 minutes or and hour or so. during those long minutes while waiting for the machine to come up, i watch the drives in the enclosures and i can see detection and syncing activity there by the leds behavior. the point at which the boot process hangs up is immediately after the phrase "waiting XX seconds for scsi devices to settle". there are no error messages reported to the console as the mly driver attempts to bring up the disk arrays and controllers. i have seen some posts from a while back about unconfigured drivers causing behavior similar to this. those posts however, mention log messages that i have never seen from the mly driver. i also have all of my drives configured in disk arrays. any idears? -kelley -- [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+MbNIF3O5KT+A1xQRAi4RAKC2bivnqvqOAfrPcN6UQbUatV5BZACfQ52o 2XnZj4xZ4ImLHhkC3dgvW/E= =90ZQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
