problems getting RAID1 to work with SiI 0680 UDMA133 controller
I have this "ultra ata IDE controller card" that I try to use with RAID1, Both the harddrives I intend to use, ad6 & ad4 are working, fsck gives no errors and I can read/write on them. I have setup raid1 on these in the bios utility for the ata controller card. but now It says one of them is down! Why is that? And what can I do about it?>From dmesg:atapci0: <SiI 0680 UDMA133 controller> port 0x1050-0x1057,0x1060-0x1063,0x1058-0 x105f,0x1064-0x1067,0x1040-0x104f mem 0x40100000-0x401000ff irq 18 at device 9.0 on pci2 ad0: 19092MB <Seagate ST320414A 3.25> at ata0-master UDMA100 acd0: CDROM <Compaq CRD-8484B/1.04> at ata1-master PIO4 ad4: 190782MB <WDC WD2000JB-00GVA0 08.02D08> at ata2-master UDMA100 ad5: 286188MB <Maxtor 6L300R0 BAJ41G20> at ata2-slave UDMA133 ad6: 190782MB <WDC WD2000JB-00EVA0 15.05R15> at ata3-master UDMA100 ad7: 14664MB <IBM DJNA-351520 J56OA30K> at ata3-slave UDMA66 ar0: WARNING - mirror protection lost.

Hi, Given the quality of this controller (SiL is a bit *too* cheap maybe), and the limited support for it (ataraid(4) can only read metadata from it), you might want to consider using GEOM to mirror your disks instead (and use the controller as a plain IDE/ATA controller): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom-mirror.html On Wed, Aug 09, 2006 at 06:39:46PM +0200, Lasse Edlund wrote:> I have this "ultra ata IDE controller card" that I try to use with RAID1, > > Both the harddrives I intend to use, ad6 & ad4 are working, fsck gives no > errors and I can read/write on them. > > I have setup raid1 on these in the bios utility for the ata controller card. > but now It says one of them is down! > > Why is that?
