Re: 5.25 floppy drive
Thanks to all. Solved. It was a multiple cause issue: 1st: BIOS Setting was incorrect (had to enable 1.2MB 5.25 rather than 3.5 which was it set to - an oversight in the firts place, that occured to me). 2nd: Cable issue: I had a combined cable (3.5 connector at the end and edge connector second but last. 3rd: in combination with 2nd: DS0 jumper issue. Anyway, I found a cable that had two edge connectors. In the end it turns out that the floppies that were lying in a drawer for 19 years, are producing read errors. I also learnt about fdcontrol. Floppy interface has changed significantly since Joerg Wunsch and Bruce Evans worked on them in the early FreeBSD days back in 1995 :) -- Christoph Am 01.10.2010 19:18, schrieb Warren Block: On Fri, 1 Oct 2010, Christoph Kukulies wrote: I'm in the need of reading some data from old 5.25 floppy media (1.2MB).

Can you obtain an 1:1 copy of the disk using ddrescue? And it's often easier to operate partition-wise, if there are functionally separated partitions on the disk; let's assume the /home directory was mounted from slice 1 partition f, then try: # ddrescue -d -r 3 -n /dev/ad2s1f home.ddr logfile If you are lucky to get a copy of this partition, you can try to apply analytic and repairing tools to that partition copy. Hmm. How can I avoid that the device gets detached? I do not think you can do anything against it. A device detachment means a MASSIVE failure. It *can* be a problem of the controller, but mostly it is a problem of the disk itself. There can be a way to get around it - by replacing the disk's PCB with an identical one. But it's not for sure that this will work, e. g. if the disk's drive components have massive defects. A device detachment at least doesn't look like an easy I/O problem within the drive's components (the platters, heads, the motors). The error must be that massive that the disk itself says goodbye to the system and disappears so that no control commands will reach it. You can try atacontrol reinit to force the disk back on-line, but it may refuse to do so. See man atacontrol for other options. You can also use the smartctl program (from port smartmontools) to check the drive's error memory to see what has caused the detachment; maybe there's some information there. It's like /dev/cpu: device disappeared. :-) Thanks for the detailed alternatives and explanations. I managed in a second attempt by using the option recoverdisk -b 102400 -r workfile -w workfile /dev/ad2 ad2.dmp (maybe I was using a different large number for the -b option, maybe I even tried it once with -b 0). Anyway the second time it held until I was down to a few thousand block being unrecoverable. In the end I was able to recover the data. Thanks.

FreeBSD splash screen - freezes my Dell Inspiron 9400
I'm observing the following with 8.0 Release: Just for fun I installed a FreeBSD splash screen The Power to Serve with the abstracted little demon. As long as the vidcontrol screen saver (not X11, I'm not running X11 at present) has not fired the first time, everything is fine - I can work in alphanumeric mode. But when I leave the computer unattended for a while so that the screensaver switches to darken/blank the screen the first time, the machine freezes or at least cannot be woken up again so that the character screen shows up again. Anyone seen this or having a clue?

(20MB/s is the transfer rate I got from a short test that I did before starting the big copy). Well, this could possibly work, but I wonder why you want to do it this way.I would be inclined to divide the disk as desired, do the MSW install in the first slice and then get a FeeBSD fixit and partition the other slice and then use dump/restore to move the FreeBSD stuff over. That way you get the best fit for the new disk, no worries about tweaking geometry and no loss of the amount the new drive is bigger than the old one. Reason was: I wanted to preserve all settings (Windows XP and FreeBSD) and avoid any reinstallation of packages or sth. and wanted to continue working with a minimum of interruption. Maybe I could use the 12GB overspace either later by assigning it an extra partition or grow some partition that is adjacent to the free space. -- Christoph jerry -- Christoph ___ 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 ___ 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

Re: copying a disk with ignoring errors
Allow me to continue this thread with a question about a method to erase a disk that has bad sectors. I bought a 1TB hard disk and will do the recoverdisk job soon. Then the disk, a Seagate which is still under warranty until 2013 as my local distributor told me, will go back and hopefully I'll be getting a replacement in a few weeks.

copying a disk with ignoring errors
I recall a case when I had a hard disk that had got bad sectors and it wasn't accessible through normal mounting anymore. Then a tool came into the game that - I believe - Poul Henning had recommended or written for this purpose. It copies a disk sector by sector to a file (kind of dd), but ignores errors, it just skips sectors it couldn't read (after a couple of retries). The result was, that one had a - albeit - worm-eaten - image of the disk allowing to access the filesystem and getting to the important files with a little luck these not being amongst the corrupted data. Anyone knowing what this little tool was named? Something like diskcopy, devcopy, I forgot. -- Christoph ___ 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

Final remark: I changed the motherboard in the end but actually I suspect that the reason the install got hung was not the READ BIG MEDIUM ERROR (I got this error also with the new motherboard and the install got past this error and continued), the reason was, that I had an ASUS ST-200 SCSI card (NCR Symbios chipset?) sticking in the system that could have caused all the trouble. Either it was the fact that this card had trouble with FreeBSD anyway (I remember something in this vein) or the card was defective or it was a problem with card and motherboard.

Other suggestion of how to bootstrap me from 5.2.1 to 7.1 are welcome: Doing a cvs-sup ? (Is there still this method of updating FreeBSD? - I've been a while off from the front) Making my SATA drive (/dev/ar0) bootable and putting the contents of the distribution into it? -- Christoph ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
hit some FS/slice size limit?
I partitioned my Seagate 500 GB Sata drive under the FreeBSD 7.1 sysinstall (booted from the install CD while having the drive attached to USB on my notebook). When creating the filesystems I chose 472 G for the / partition (wanted to put everything into one partition - yeah, I know, one should granulate this finer, but I didn' t want to bother right now). I got told that it could not create the slice (too big? it said). Hmm, is there some limit on a FreeBSD slice size? -- Christoph ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

fastest raw device copy?
Hi list, I'm considering using a bootable USB stick with FreeBSD to perform a backup of my notebooks' 500 GB hard disk to a physically identical (same make, same type, same size) hard disk attached to USB. What would be the fastest way to do that sector by sector copy? I'm using dd right now, dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/da0 bs=1000 but maybe there is a utility which does this faster or a larger buffer size? Probably the limit will be the USB 2.0 bus speed anyway? -- Christoph ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That seems too long, but of course the FreeBSD USB stack is involved, and a USB device in general. I would have assumed that copy should have finished after 2-3 hours tops. An idea how I can check the current amount of transfered byed alongside the running dd command? Or watch the current i/o rate? iostat or gstat (I'm willing to bet you prefer the latter) will get you what you want, more or less. The job just finished and I have a figure of the Ubuntu performance, with the unfortunate blocksize parameter though, so I think it isn't much worth. Anyway here is the figure of the above dd command copying 500GB to a WDC disk in an Icy box. 50010+1 Datensätze ein 50010+1 Datensätze aus 500107862016 Bytes (500GB) kopiert, 25787,9 s, 19,4 MB/s Will do that using FreeBSD next time.

Can't you use dump/restore instead? Dump each file system on /dev/ad0 to a file on /dev/da0. Create a file system on /dev/da0 using newfs first. You may or may not want to create a FreeBSD slice and partition there before doing the newfs. Make a mount point and mount it. mkdir /bkmnt mount /dev/da0 /bkmntOr if you created slice and partition in /dev/da0 mount /dev/da0s1a /bkmnt Then do the dumps dump 0af /bkmnt/rootbackup / dump 0af /bkmnt/usrbackup /usr dump 0af /bkmnt/homehackup /home etc for whatever file systems you want to back up. You will be much better off than with a sector by sector copy. jerry The idea was to have a drop in backup for my notebook that allows me to continue working with a minimum of delay. (requires a philips screwdriver though :-) Of course a failure of the source disk while doing the image copy as the worst case scenario would leave me with empty hands :-) There are a couple of partitions with different OSs on that hard drive. -- Christoph ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD fdisk/sysinstall
I tried to invoke sysinstall to write an additional FreeBSD slice to the disk I was currently booted from. I intentionally chose the W option to write the changes since I didn't want to do an installtion. But I got an error that I could not write to the disk. Why is that? Because I'm booted from that disk? Or because the can only be one slice? Don't know. Just wondering. Is there a neat fdisk for FreeBSD like the linux fdisk (which is pfdisk derived, I believe). The FreeBSD fdisk is really archaic and I was not able to specify start/end block numbers. The calulated cyl numbers seemed to overlap with the previous partition so I bailed out and left it as it was and put up this question instead. -- Chris Christoph P. U.
