highpoint rocketraid 454 - RAID 1
OK, I'm seriously stuck. I have searched every resource exhaustively, found bits and pieces, but not what I'm after. This is *honestly* my last resort. I have a HighPoint RocketRAID 454 with two Western Digital 200GB disks (I was hoping to boot FBSD off of these). I've setup a RAID 1 array under the bios utility program, and ran the FreeBSD 5.4 installer. I remember seeing two different disks (ad4, ad6) when it came to formatting/partitionning but I thought nothing of it. Until of course, I wanted to see if there was a way, other than rebooting, to check the RAID 1 status. I started reading through atacontrol(8) and found that I could use 'atacontrol status ar0' which gave me: atacontrol: ioctl(ATARAIDSTATUS): Device not configured I do not see anything in my dmesg relating to ar0 being up and running, and displaying the sub-disks which would explain why atacontrol would be giving me that error message. However, I do see that the RAID card, and the two disks, ad4, ad6, have been detected properly. I will attach my dmesg output below. Thank you in advance.

RE: highpoint rocketraid 454 - RAID 1
Hi Eugene, OK, let me explain supported just a bit, here. ;-) There's 2 kinds of driver support we are talking about. The first is driver support where the driver can talk directly to the hard drives on the IDE controller. That's what you got. The second is the support where the driver can talk to the smarts in the RAID card that does the RAIDing, so that you can see your array as a single logical unit - which is what you need. After all an array ain't much good if your formatting and partitioning each hard drive in the array individually. Now, according to the man page for the ata driver in FreeBSD 5.4 RELEASE, the supported Highpoint raid card models are: HighPoint: HPT302, HPT366, HPT366, HPT368, HPT370, HPT371, HPT372, HPT374. Your card is detected as: atapci0: HighPoint HPT374 (channel 0+1) UDMA133 controller So, what we have here is a bug. That is, the ata driver is supposed to know all about the RAID array on your card - but it don't - so something is wacked. If your card WAS completely supported you WOULD see an ar device in the dmesg output. Here's a sample from my system which has a Highpoint Rocket RAID 100 (actually, an OEMed card to Adaptec, listed under the Adaptec 1200A model): atapci0: HighPoint HPT370 UDMA100 controller ad4: 152627MB ST3160023A/8.01 [310101/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 ad6: 152627MB ST3160023A/3.01 [310101/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA100 ar0: 152627MB ATA RAID1 array [19457/255/63] status: READY subdisks: disk0 READY on ad4 at ata2-master disk1 READY on ad6 at ata3-master You don't got this so that is why FreeBSD can only see each disk, and not the array you created in the BIOS. Naturally, if you did have an ar device, you would ignore the ad devices and do all your formatting/partitioning/installing on the ar device. At this point, your next step needs to be to go to ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/ and download the boot floppies for the most current snapshot of the FreeBSD 5.x release train, try to boot that and see if it recognizes your card's RAID - it might very well do this since there's been gobs of changes in the ATA raid code since the 5.4 release - development on this driver is extremely active right now, espically in the area of ata RAID. If it DOES support the array you got it made - either download the entire SNAP and run that, or use the current driver to try to find the bug in the 5.4 driver (most definitely NOT recommended) If it DOESEN'T support your card then e-mail Søren Schmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] as he is working on this driver daily. You can either arrainge to loan him your card for a week or so, and hope that he gets the bug quashed quickly, or (and this is what I would do) just give him your card and ask him to fix it when he feels like it, then buy one that does not have the bug. Since your disks are only UDMA100 and you only have 2 of them, the Highpoint RocketRaid 100 card will give you the exact same speed and functionality. And, you can get them dirt cheap since people don't know that the Adaptec 1200A is just a relabeled RocketRaid 100. In fact I just picked up one of those cards off Ebay last week for under $20 - auction 5193591385 it was. And of course, one last thing you can do - try creating a mirror in the raid card BIOS instead of a stripe set, and see if that comes up as an ar device. Not that you will want to do this permanently, but it might help Soren find the bug more quickly if you find that mirroring works and striping doesen't.

The one thing we run into from time to time is the issue of net.key.prefered_oldsa=1 on FAST_IPSEC on RELENG_4. But other than that, it works. What issues are you running into ? Did you enable debug logging in racoon ? What state do the tunnels get to ? i.e what does setkey -D show ? I didn't think there should be. A basic tunnel (without any encryption) works fine. As soon as ipsec_enable is set in rc.conf, it fails. setkey -D shows No SAD entries. When racoon is restarted, the debug log shows (I believe, I honestly don't understand half of what it logs!) that the /etc/ipsec.conf entries are read: (I'm on a different PC, so this is copied from the screen) racoon: DEBUG: policy.c:184:cmpspidxstrict(): sub:0x7fffe940: 192.168.0.0/24[0] 192.168.1.0/24[0] proto=any dir=out racoon: DEBUG: policy.c:184:cmpspidxstrict(): db :0x568810: 192.168.1.0/24[0] 192.168.0.0/24[0] proto=any dir=in with similiar on the second server (althought the IP's are the opposite way round) If I start a ping from 192.168.1.254 - 192.168.0.254, the receiving machine get's an 'Invalid length of payload' error, whilst the sending machine is getting an 'phase 2 negotiation failed due to time up waiting for phase1. ESP 62.x.x.125-82.x.x.141' (The ip's shown are what they should be.) I can probably transfer entire parts of the log files if required, but at the moment, both machines are isolated. A further point I've discovered having left them running for a while, is the racoon on the AMD64 keeps crashing and dumping core (although I don't know what to do with that!).

sharing ext3 partition
I have a laptop partitioned up into a mixture of Windows and Linux partitions. I was thinking about wiping the Ubuntu partition and putting FreeBSD 5.4 in its place. However, there are a couple of concerns that I have before doing this. 1) Everything except for the NTFS partition is inside of an extended partition. If I delete the Ubuntu partition, will FreeBSD install in an extended partition? 2) I use one Linux partition to keep all regular user documents that Ubuntu and Gentoo share (eg. photos, OpenOffice documents and etc.) Does FreeBSD fully support ext3 writing? Any drawbacks to sharing an ext3 partition between Gentoo and FreeBSD? Below is a copy of my fdisk -l /dev/hda output from Linux.

And I dont think they intend for you to download it and make a CD out of it. (just a guess) I think that is what everyone is trying to tell you. I'm not sure the snapshots are good for 'upgrading' per se. I think you would install a snapshot... and then keep up to date via cvsup. Correct?

Re: gnome-vfs does not compile.
Few really quick questions here: 1. When was the last time you cvsup'd your ports tree? 2. Have you checked to make sure the rest of your ports are current? If 1. is recently, and 2. is yes, then I'd make clean on it and try to use portinstall gnome-vfs and see what happens. If you answered never, or quite a while ago to the first one, I strongly suggest cvsup'ing your ports first, then make sure your other ports are current before attempting to proceed, then try portinstall gnome-vfs.

I went to rebuild kernel and 'options smp' is not even a choice. I add it along with the others that are mentioned for smp and when I run config it says in effect, 'doesn't understand smp option', meaning it can't be added. Didn't think setting up smp on bsd would be this much trouble. Any advice? Thanks. -- Jason ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FreeBSD 5.4 SMP
Hmm..having rebuilt kernels for SMP support several times, I can't help but wonder if this is a clean install you're dealing with, or an upgrade from a previous release. In either case, I'd cvsup your src tree with tag=RELENG_5_4, and follow the handbook kernel building instructions step by step. Putting options SMP there should work, but I don't remember if it was already there and just commented out or not. Here's what I have in my config: # Enable Multiple CPU Support options SMP device apic# I/O APIC After you have the latest sources and those two lines in your config, follow the build and install process from the handbook. Works beautfilly on all of the Poweredge servers I have here. :) Tony On Tue, 17 May 2005, Jason Lieurance wrote: Hello, I have a new Dell PowerEdge Dual Xeon 2.8 server and the freebsd install 'sees' 1 cpu.

GimpShop and FreeBSD

Re: routed daemon
Jim Pazarena [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Can the routed daemon co-exist with a CISCO router which, by default, also responds to routing requests? The reason I ask, is that I accidentally installed routed, and it was running, and my whole network came to a grinding halt, until I de-activated routed. I had not set up *any* configuration file or anything other than installing the port (by accident). So did this halt my system because I had no configuration file, or because routed cannot co-exist with (in this case) my telco provided CISCO gateway router? Certainly they *can* co-exist, but in your case there is no reason for them to do so. Your routed doesn't know about any routes that the Cisco doesn't. This is also (most likely) where the problem came from; your routed was probably advertising routes that went through the Cisco, causing the Cisco to pick up those routes through the FreeBSD box, causing a routing loop. In ordinary routing situations, split horizon would keep this from happening, but because the default route was configured statically, routed couldn't detect this. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dual Boot question
I have a new machine with two drives. The primary drive came with Windows XP installed, so I installed FreeBSD (5.4. RELEASE) on the slave. I want to dual boot using the Windows boot manager. I found instructions in the faq: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADER But it's not working. When I select FreeBSD, the box boots to a prompt, flashing F1 and goes no further, periodically beeping. I ran fdisk to make sure that ad5s1 was flagged as bootable and installed the FreeBSD boot manager. Then I copied /boot/boot0 to the Windows disk on C:\ and named it BOOTSEC.BSD and edited the boot.ini file per the instructions in the faq. What did I miss?

Hi All, I am seeing this problem as well: a. The kernel is in a tight loop via the fxp driver since there are frames that need to be DMA'd but cannot be because 'b.' b. The fxp driver calls m_getcl( ) which returns ENOBUFS since there are no clusters to satisfy the request. This goes on constantly so it appears the system is hung. I submitted a follow-up to the PR and also requested contact with a committer to discuss this problem and possible solutions. I think this should be fixed, right away. If you would like to donate your 2 cents worth to this discussion; I would be very happy to hear from you and am grateful for the input.

portaudit is being stubborn
This is driving me nuts. I just downloaded the latest portaudit database and ran it on my system: mx02# portaudit -ad Database created: Tue May 17 13:40:02 CDT 2005 Affected package: wget-1.8.2_7 Type of problem: wget -- multiple vulnerabilities. Reference: http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/06f142ff-4df3-11d9-a9e7-0001020eed82.html 1 problem(s) in your installed packages found. You are advised to update or deinstall the affected package(s) immediately. Okayso, that vulnerability isn't of much concern to me, but just to be sure I'm current: mx02# portversion ftp/wget wget= So life is good there, so I got back and add this to my /usr/local/etc/portaudit.conf file: # Make portaudit ignore wget vulnerability (no shell users here anyway) portaudit_fixed=06f142ff-4df3-11d9-a9e7-0001020eed82 I then re-ran portauditit gives me the same output. :( I want to have this cron'ed where I only get ouput when something that actually concerns me comes up.

What software can I use to burn DVDs? All I'm looking for is some software (preferably also under X/gnome) that would allow me to make backup DVD's of files I have on the drive (i.e. Data DVDs). - Finally, I've just installed gnome and when it starts up, I get the following error: No volume control elements and/or devices found. The A8V Motherboard on which the system is installed has an inbuilt 8.0 sound card. Is there any way I can test this is working under Freebsd.

RE: 5.4 install disc1 will not find hard drive
I have been using the same workbench PC to test the building of the install cdrom from disc1.iso and miniinst.iso since version 3.0 through 5.3 without any problems. The 5.3 miniinst and disc1 work as expected. 5.4 does not have an miniinst.iso so used disc1. When 5.4 disc1 install cdrom is used, sysinstall(standerd) option gives error msg (No hard disk found). Then using the 5.3 disc1 cdrom install proceeds as expected. I can also run ms/dos fdisk format on the HD without any problems. The hard drive is an western digital 310100 10GB 33 udma on ata0 as master with the slave unused. Normally cabled with 80 pin cable. Have tried with 40 pin cable and get same error message. Even tried 5.4 install cdrom against my production server/gateway box which is running 4.10 on a western digital 24300 4GB 33 udma and get the (No hard disk found) msg again. Them tried the 5.3 cd and it found the hard drive on the production box. Then I used an western digital 102AA 10GB 66 udma HD and 5.4 found the HD and installed just fine. Looks like udma 33 support is not working in 5.4 Anybody have 5.4 installed on a udma 33 HD from a install cdrom? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can't answer your first couple of questions, but I know from solving this for myself over the weekend that this one should just require getting the correct kernel module loaded for your sound card. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html For me, it was as simple as running the sound driver meta loader kldload snd_driver to see if my card would fly at all, and then looking at dmesg to see that the meta loader was finding device pcm0 and from there figuring out which sound module I needed to load from /boot/loader.conf with my_modname_load=YES (can't remember the actual module name I used) Then boot, and Gnome starts up happy (just like me every time I boot FreeBSD ;-). -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) gregb at scls.lib.wi.us, (608) 266-6348 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html The summary is, edit /boot/loader.conf to add the line kldload snd_driver, then reboot. That loads most of the sound card drivers, so it will probably get it working, although not in the most efficient manner. I'm assuming you are using FreeBSD 5.x, under 4.x the answer may be different. Thanks for all your help. Joe It's best to post one question per message, with a descriptive subject line.

I would generally advise to avoid binary only drivers, because if you upgrade your system and the driver stops working you're screwed. Instead buy from people who give out enough specs to let the Xorg hackers write open source drivers. Study your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and read the manual page: 'man xorg.conf'.

ssh to new ip...
Hi, I'm moving my new freebsd 5.3 box to a new static ip address and I'm worried that once I put it at the isp, I won't be able to ssh to it or anything. Right now it's still at home and has dhcp. I'm not able to ssh from my windoze box over to it thru my router. I'm getting a connection refused error. Trying to ssh from another box on the net isn't successful either. The operation times out. I am able to ssh to that address from the box itself tho. Is this a firewall issue or maybe more of a thing with my dhcp provider? How can I tell?
