The fdisk -I da1 failed with SCSI parity error, so I took another look at the
manual for the 9GB drives and noticed that the J-4 pin block (12 pairs of pins
where SCSI Device ID's are set) on these drives says Pin 11 is a Disable SCSI
Parity Check jumper. I added a jumper on pin 11 on both 9GB
Thanks for the steps, Laszlo. I got as far as creating a freebsd slice on da1
(both da1 and da2 have been low-level formatted).
Now I have two questions:
1) When creating the slice on da1, I specified to use the entire disk, but
there are 2 unused sections -- one before and one after the new

Hi, Jerry:
Yes, I want to run Samba (sorry the list of requirements from my original email
got left off). I also want to have the server run scheduled backups of the
mirror disk. However...
I am not able to initialize da1 and da2 successfully. I went through the
process of running FDISK and

OK. I saw that later in your subject
Hello. I have a server with 3 SCSI drives. FreeBSD is installed on da0 (4.3GB),
and da1 and da2 (both identical 9GB drives) are to be used in a RAID 1 array
for file storage on a LAN with Windows XP and Vista clients, using Samba to
share the filesystem on da1. Backups will be taken from da2.

I was initially hung up on the boot disk issue as well - everything in
the handbook applies to a data-only drive as well, except the part
about dumping the filesystem, etc. I presume your disks are
uninitialized.
I suggest a look at the actual gmirror manpage, it has more better
examples, and

appreciate a concise set of steps for doing this right the first time.
1. First of all, you should install the base system on da0 and boot
There appears to be an issue with da1.
Please advise as to what the problem is and how to resolve it.
I'm getting similar SCSI parity error messages for BOTH of the following
commands:
1) gmirror label -b load sambavol /dev/da1 /dev/da2
2) fdisk -BI da1
Here is the output from the gmirror
One more thought: I had to disable ACPI (as with the first server) to get
FreeBSD to boot. Could this have something to do with my problem, i.e., is some
manual configuration necessary to set up SCSI devices in FreeBSD?
