Hi guys, Recently I got problems to use LaCie disk under FreeBSD 6.0, actually I did some trick to use LaCie disk under FreeBSD 6.0 through FireWire. Here is detail:
This info is from dmesg: da0 at sbp0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <LaCie Gr LaCie FW800 Big 0105> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-4 device da0: 50.000MB/s transfers da0: 476950MB (976794335 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 60802C) If you notice, you will find that 255H*63S*60802C=976784130!=976794335 in dmesg. So next I did the following: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=1k count=1 bsdlabel -w da0 bsdlabel -e da0 # and I found there is one /dev/da0a partition. newfs -L LaCie1 -U -o time /dev/da0a I got this error: newfs: wtfs: 512 bytes at sector 976794318: Invalid argument So I run bsdlabel -e da0 and find something in this info: # /dev/da0: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 976794319 16 unused 0 0 c: 976794335 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit You can see system use 976794335, not 976784130 as total sectors! So I changed it to 976784130 as following: a: 976784114 16 unused 0 0 c: 976784130 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit Ignore the waring message, and newfs going ok. I copied one big gig size file and everything goes ok! I tried this LaCie disk through USB also, same problem. Here is my question, I know the da0's H/S/C param info is from LaCie, and the number of total sectors is from LaCie disk too. Is this a problem or just normal, I mean wrong number of total sectors? If this is a problem, is there a way to fix this problem?
