I have a pair of IDE disks which have FreeBSD 4.9 installed on them on two mirrored (raid1) raidframe partitions:
raid0 mounted as /
raid1 as /usr
Something went wrong with this installation as it hangs at the startup, regardless whether one or both disks are present and I am not able to fix it. More importantly, before I reinstall fresh the whole thing, I need to save some data from the /usr partition.
I plugged a third disk in the system and installed on it a vanilla FreeBSD 5.2.1 kern-developer distribution. I created the config file for the raid device, but whenever I try to create the raid device by using 'raidctl -C /etc/raid0.conf' the system reboots with:
"Kernelized RAIDframe activated"
"RAIDFrame: protectedSectors is 64"
"Waiting for DAG engine to start"
"Panic: lockmgr: thread ... 'snip'"
Any ideas of what is wrong? This is brand new fresh install. Thanks, Leo
The config file and disklabels I used are follows:
START array 1 2 0 START disks /dev/ad1s1e /dev/ad2s1e START layout 64 1 1 1 START queue fifo 100
