Mounting root from ufs:/dev/mirror/boota em0: Link is up 100 Mbps Full Duplex Up to here all looks normal, and good. But now the problem, immediately following, appears... ad4: FAILURE - unknown CMD (0xb0) status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> If I attempt to boot with this disk (ad4) in the GEOM mirror configuration, the system hangs as soon as it activates the mirror, and when I reboot after that both ad4 and one of the other mirrored disks is inconsistent. If not, I get the above "FAILURE" line - I assume they're connected. If I want until the system is up, and then "insert" it into the mirror, it seems to behave ok. I have not, however, allowed it to complete the rebuild and stress it significantly. Any ideas? This card is supposedly one of the ones with the "hot swap-capable" chipset; I am attempting to end up with a configuration where I can do "hot backups" to a third disk by inserting it, allowing it to sync, then detaching it and putting it away (e.g. in a safety deposit box) The card is a Buslink SATA 150, claims to support internal RAID 0 and 1 (although I'm not using that capability), and as its salient point, has an external connector for the outside disk. I'm not quite sure what's going on here, but clearly its bad news from a stability standpoint - the 2-disk mirror setup has been chugging along even under "make -j8 buildworld" along with the usual production load quite happily. If its just a matter of needing a different adapter, I can try that.. if I can find another one with an external connection! -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@denninger.net) Internet Consultant & Kids Rights Activist http://www.denninger.net My home on the net - links to everything I do! http://scubaforum.org Your UNCENSORED place to talk about DIVING! http://www.spamcuda.net SPAM FREE mailboxes - FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME! http://genesis3.blogspot.com Musings Of A Sentient Mind
