Hello list.
i386 PC with 3 PATA disks.
- a 60g Maxtor attached to motherboard's IDE controller
- two 160g Maxtor attached to a Promise FastTrak TX2 PCI controller
During install all 3 disks are correctly recognized and fully assigned to
OpenBSD.
Both 160g disks have a single partition (a) spanning all disk length (from
sector 63), RAID type.
When I run
# bioctl -c 0 -l /dev/wd1a,/dev/wd2a softraid0
the device is (AFAICT) correctly created:
# bioctl softraid0
Volume Status Size Device
softraid0 0 Online 327843063808 sd0 RAID0
0 Online 163921531904 0:0.0 noencl <wd1a>
1 Online 163921531904 0:1.0 noencl <wd2a>
#
On device sd0 there is a single 4.2BSD partition spanning all the disk; that's
ok with me.
# disklabel sd0
# /dev/rsd0c:
type: SCSI
disk: SCSI disk
label: SR RAID 0
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 255
sectors/cylinder: 16065
cylinders: 39857
total sectors: 640318485
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # microseconds

drivedata: 0
16 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 640318485 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1
c: 640318485 0 unused 0 0
#
Then I try to create a new filesystem on the partition and I receive an error
message:
# newfs /dev/rsd0a
newfs: wtfs: write error on block 640318484: Input/output error
#
Now bioctl shows one disk as "Offline".
# bioctl softraid0
Volume Status Size Device
softraid0 0 Offline 327843063808 sd0 RAID0
0 Offline 163921531904 0:0.0 noencl <wd1a>
1 Online 163921531904 0:1.0 noencl <wd2a>
#
What does this mean?
Why is the disk offline?
What am I doing wrong?
By the way, when I try to delete both sd0 and softraid0 the machine goes to a
"ddb>" prompt.
Thank you all,
bye,
Manuel
PS: During installation and during boot I received a few "interface CRC error"
messages from wd0.
What des this mean exactly?
The disk itself is quite old, 6 years at the very least. Do these messages mean
it is going to die soon?
Thanks again,
M.
