Hello friends, I'm having a problem with my home server (ASUS A7V133 motherboard) which has a horrible performance with ATA disks connected to an integrated promise controller. Below you can see iozone results of the same disk connected to the primary/ secondary controller versus the promise one. Promise ATA100 controller: ========================= Version 1.02a ------Sequential

Hi all! According to www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/hardware-i386.html#AEN63 FreeBSD doesnt seem to support the PDC20378 chipset. Anyway, output of dmesg, atapci0: <Promise PDC20378 SATA150 controller> port 0xdc00-0xdc7f,0xdfa0-0xdfaf,0xdf00-0xdf3f mem 0xfeac0000-0xfeadffff,0xfeafe000-0xfeafefff irq 11 at device 4.0 on pci2 more dmesg output: ar0: ERROR - array broken

Does any one know how to, if at all possible currently, to export a block device via eSATA? i.e. how do I do something like iSCSI, but over eSATA? I have a cheat ($15 probably?) media player at home (Egreat EG-M31B Network Media Tank - awesome little machine) that runs some flavor of Debian and can be connected to any PC via eSATA as an external HDD's. i.e. it exports the built-in HDD as a

1. Is there some way to copy a promise so that the copy has the same expression in its promise as the original. In the following we y is a promise that we want to copy to z. We want z to be a promise based on the expression x since y is a promise based on the expression x. Thus the answer to the code below is desired to be z=2 but its 1, 1 and y in the next three examples so they are not the

Hello, for quick harddrive tests (SMART, noise, backup etc..) I bought a very nice "docking" station connected to my ICH9 SATA controller (http://www.sharkoon.com/html/produkte/externe_gehaeuse/sata_quickport_pro/index_en.html) I can read/write to inserted disks, also smartctl works, but my favourite test doesn't run: diskinfo -t /dev/ad10 returns: ioctl(DIOCGMEDIASIZE) failed,

When an attribute is a delayed expression sometimes it is not forced when it is extracted. > x <- list() > attr(x, "p") <- delay(1) > x list() attr(,"p") <promise: 0x11e4bb8> > val <- attr(x, "p") > val [1] 1 > attr(x, "p") <promise: 0x11e4bb8> I am not quite sure whether the above is a bug or not but I think

R-devel, I used the 'substitute' function to create labels for objects inside an environment, without actually evaluating the objects, as the objects might be promises. However, I was surprised to see that 'substitute' returns the expression slot of the original promise even after the promise has been forcibly evaluated. (Doesn't the promise go away after evaluation?) This

Hi all, It seems that there is a use case for obtaining the environment for the "top" promise. By "top", I mean following the promise chain up the call stack until hitting a non-promise. S4 data containers often mimic the API of base R data structures. This means writing S4 methods for functions that quote their arguments, like with() and subset(). The methods package

Hey, just bought an eSATA/USB dual drive docking station and my CentOS 5 can only see one drive at a time... Any one knows if there are specific parameters to set somewhere? Or do I need a more recent kernel (like upgrading to CentOS 6?) The docking is a Sharkoon Quickport Duo v2 + 2 drives + 1 eSATA cable... http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/sata-quickport-duo-v2 The eSATA controller is an

We've got this Dell server. In it, we've got two LSI HBAs. Mini-SAS to one RAID box. The other, cheapo RAID box, has eSATA. We got a mini-SAS-to-eSATA cable - actually, it's one mini-SAS to three eSATA. The systems sees not those disks. Will this just not work, with the HBA, or is there a driver that will let the what, mpt2SAS driver see the eSATA drives? mark

Hi all, The help for delayedAssign suggests that you can use substitute to access the expression associated with a promise, and the help for substitute says: "If it is a promise object, i.e., a formal argument to a function or explicitly created using ?delayedAssign()?, the expression slot of the promise replaces the symbol. But this doesn't seem to work: > a <- 1 > b <- 2

When I boot my Centos home file server with the latest kernel, 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL, the two Promise controllers installed in the system are unable to enable the 2nd IDE Channel on both cards due to a memory conflict. The error indicates that the next block of memory is already allocated. So the 2nd IDE channel on each card does not get enabled. Listing of the two controllers is below: 00:09.0 Mass

Hi All, I'm writing to announce a workaround to the problem with various Promise ATA RAID controllers, discussed previously on this list and mentioned on http://syslinux.zytor.com/hardware.php. To recap, the Promise BIOS overwrites random locations in low memory, whether booting from it or not. This screws with PXELINUX. In our case, we got around the problem by disabling the Promise BIOS

I have a Compaq something with a PII-400 and an Intel 440BX/ZX/DX chipset. I put in a Maxtor Ultra133 PCI controller (which is a Promise PDC20269, same as their TX2) and connected the hard drive thereto. Before we go on, I should say that I **hate** both Promise and Compaq. I wouldn't actually BUY this junk. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say. :) (An old idiom I grew up

Hi, The problem arises when I lazyLoad() the .Random.seed from a previously saved database. To simplify the process of reproducing the problem, see the example below: ## this assignment may not really make sense, but illustrates the problem delayedAssign('.Random.seed', 1L) typeof(.Random.seed) # [1] "integer" rnorm(1) # Error in rnorm(1) : # .Random.seed is not an integer

Hi all, It's possible to capture the expression associated with a promise (using substitute). Is there any way to capture the environment associated with a promise? Similarly, is there any way to tell if something is a promise without accidentally evaluating it? Thanks! Hadley -- RStudio / Rice University http://had.co.nz/

Hello, In some weeks I'm going to reinstall some old RedHat9 based servers with Promise FastTrak TX2000 "semi-hardware" RAID1 controllers. I just tried to install CentOS 4.0 on a computer with a spare card and as usual both HDD attached to the RAID1 controller are seen separately by the installer because the specific driver for the TX2000 wasn't loaded. Nothing new here, it

Is there a way to raise an error condition when a promise is evaluated such that is can be evaluated again? Right now strange things happen when the evaluation fails: > delayedAssign("x", if (failed) stop("you have to initialize me first!") else foo) > foo <- "I'm foo" > failed<-TRUE > x Error: you have to initialize me first! > x
