Read the list of supported hardware. See: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/index.html select hardware notes' for the release version of the O/S you are using. The '3Ware 8506-4LP is listed there. It requiress the 'twe' disk driver software, which _is_ provided by the standard distribution, *BUT* manual configuration is required. you have to do the indicated 'magic' for the installer before it will see the controller an disks as installation targets. Then you have to do it AGAIN for the installed system, before booting it. The 'twe' manpage describes what is required. You can find it from the hardware notes link mentioned above. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

ZFS NFS
Greetings! Hopefully I don't get to lost in my explanation here. I have a raid1 array w/ ZFS running ontop of it, yes I realize this isn't the ideal way to do things, I didn't know that at the time. The system is stock FreeBSD-8.2-i386, with 2GB of RAM. In /boot/loader.conf I have the following: vfs.zfs.txg.timeout=5 kern.maxvnodes=25 vfs.zfs.txg.write_limit_override=1073741824 The array is 2x750GB Seagate 2.5 drives w/ 16MB cache/ea. I'm not doing anything fancy except storage of various Operating System ISO's and some other files, all being served to my lan via Samba (to some windows clients) and via nfs to several linux/freebsd clients. Now, on to the juicy stuff. Windows is unable to successfully connect to the SMB shares anymore, and I can't figure out why. No error messages are printed in /var/log/messages on the server. The samba share block for /tank/store is as follows: [tank] comment = ZFS Tank path = /tank valid users = chris admin users = chris read list = chris write list = chris read only = No 'chris' being the uid I use everywhere on my lan. Every machine has this login. NFS wise, I have the following set up: [root@ziggy ~]# cat /etc/exports /home -alldirs -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 /usr/obj-maproot=root -alldirs -rw /usr/src-maproot=root -alldirs -rw /usr/ports -maproot=root -alldirs -rw /usr/ports/distfiles-maproot=root -alldirs -rw /usr/ports/packages -maproot=root -alldirs -rw [root@ziggy ~]# cat /etc/zfs/exports # !!!
