re: usb flashkey

2003-09-13 Thread raoul.megelas
hello all,

I tested the flashkey with and without fsync.
Infortunately the result is the same in all cases:
a random write fault for one byte at each time, repeated at random places.

With a 32Mb (old model i think) flashkey, all is correct and repeated writes
are ok.

Reading operations are correct (a bad file is always bad for current and for XP.

The flashkey runs quite well on XP (verifyed a big number of times on writing).

errors occur at any place on the flashkey (msdos-sys) as attested by a partial
copy of the flashkey done by dd: (bootmbr fats directory, and of file).
Writing errors are not systematic, and sometimes all goes fine.

At my sense, it looks like a time problem or as mentionned by Bruce Evans
or an interrupt problem.

Hope this can help.
Best regards.

usb flashkey disk copy error

2003-09-07 Thread raoul.megelas
Hello all,

I have a copy error between hdd and a flashkey 1gig usb (easydisk)
on Current dated August 28. Here is in short:

mount -t msdos /dev/da2s1 /flashkey
cp myfile /flashkey/
diff myfile /flashkey/myfile
(ok).
umount /flashkey

mount (flashkey)
diff myfile /flashkey/myfile
(Binary file differ)!

It is not a flashkey disk error, it works on XP.
Note that this error occurs on FreeBSD 4.8 too.

Please, can you tell me how to deal with that?
And in an other hand can you tell me how to obtain the exact map of the flashkey
to verify the writing on the disk.
Thanks in advance for this newbie question.

 could you try a fsync /flashkey/myfile before the umount?

 umount /flashkey
 
 mount (flashkey)
 diff myfile /flashkey/myfile

 You're the second person that has reported corruption with USB umass
 devices.  I am interested in tracking down this problem, but it's a
 bit difficult since I haven't seen it myself.

 (I currently don't quite have a test bed box to play with, but I will
 in the next week.)

 All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not.

You have found the trick, fsync after cp works fine.
Thanks very much.

But why the fsync is not automatically done by umount on umass?

(note) if you need to test against flashkey i can do that if you want.)

usb flashkey error

2003-09-07 Thread raoul.megelas
Hello all,
in a precedent message, i reported an error using a flashkey.
I must add the following:

as one can see in the dmesg below, the controller is NOT the ohci but uhci.
The error occurs on writing not reading I tested the file written to the
flashkey, without fsync and after unmount applied; The file looks
garbage. In this case, as suggested by John-Mark Gurney, the fsync made the
trick.

Best regards.

pcmcia card not detected properly

Hi all,

I just upgraded Current.
In a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop a pcmcia card is not detected properly.
Some lines from dmesg:

The card works fine. It was detected before upgrading.
It is an Adaptec  APA-1460.

Thanks in advance for your help.

old serial RS-232 pccard and wi driver.

2003-03-01 Thread raoul.megelas
Hello,

I encounter a strange problem with an old rs-232 serial pccard on current (just
cvsup'ed).

The card works quite well on 5.0-RELEASE, but it it is detected as a wlan
card on current, and the system attempts to run the wi driver. This calls ther
 debugger, and the (continue) command reboot the machine, and that at boot,
or after any card insertion. 

I don't know if the machine is very relevant but ...
   DELL Inspiron 8000 laptop..
The acpi is loaded, and seems to work.
An Adaptec apa-1460 pccard works well too, (the IRQ (11) is correctly
handled).

Here is the message at boot:

pccard1: CIS checksum failed.
wi0: Socket Communications Low Power wlan card at port 0x100-0x107 irq 11=
 fun1
wi0 init failed.
panic block: (sleep mutex wi0 not locked @ /usr/src-current/src/sys/devwi/=
if_w3
debugger (panic) stopped at:
  debugger+0x54: xchgl %ebx,in_debugger.0.

Sorry if I have forgotten something.

Best regards
