After upgrade, no /dev entries created for USB hard disk slice
Hello all, Since upgrading from 7.2-p5 to 8.1-p1, I'm unable to mount one particular external USB hard disk (Seagate FreeAgent 1.5TB disk). /dev/da0 and /dev/da0a get created, but /dev/da0s1 and /dev/da0s1a do not get created. The label is on da0s1 and the filesystem is on da0s1a. Another machine running 7.0-STABLE still sees the disk properly (i.e. /dev entries for the slices get created, filesystem can be mounted, data appears to be there). So, the disk doesn't appear to have been corrupted. A different Seagate FreeAgent USB disk (1TB, not 1.5TB) is seen properly by the host running 8.1-p1. fdisk output on both FreeBSD 7 and FreeBSD 8 show the same thing. The cylinder numbers look a bit odd, but the disk works fine under FreeBSD 7...is FreeBSD 8 just more particular? I think I used 'fdisk -I' when I originally set up the disk, rather than doing anything manual. Output of fdisk /dev/da0 on FreeBSD 8.1-p1: *** Working on device /dev/da0 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=182401 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=182401 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 2930272002 (1430796 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 128/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: UNUSED The data for partition 3 is: UNUSED The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED Output of fdisk /dev/da0 on FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE: *** Working on device /dev/da0 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=182401 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=182401 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 2930272002 (1430796 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 128/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: UNUSED The data for partition 3 is: UNUSED The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED So, the slice is there - FreeBSD 8 just can't find it. Oh, and 'camcontrol reset 0' produces the following output: Reset of bus 0 returned error 0x3a Many thanks for any help - I'm stumped --eli ___ 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

USB switch/USB hard disk jukebox
Hi, I am thinking (long term project) to use several USB hard disk for achiving purpose. One hard disk would be connected at a time, but that would be nice to be able to connect and disconnect the disks via software. Have you heard of some kind of USB disk jukebox? Have you heard of some kind of USB switch that allows to connect several devices to one PC, but enabling and disabling each port individually, via software?

Re: Problems connecting USB hard disk
I maybe wrong here, but i think it has something to do with you using USB2.0 enclosure. 4.9 doesn't support USB2.0, from 4.10 it does. This maybe your problem. Maybe someone else from the list may have a better idea than i do. Thanks Ana. I was actually incorrect about my setup - the disk is currently plugged into a FreeBSD 4.4 system and the other system I tried it on was 4.10 not 4.9! My understanding was that even when USB 2.0 is not supported, assuming that the disk is recognized it should be recognized as USB 1.1, since both the controller and disk are fully backwards compatible. That has been my experience under Windows and Linux anyway. I can be almost certain that USB 2.0 is not supported on FreeBSD 4.4, but those errors indicate that the disk is at least recognized, but nothing useful can be done with it. Strangely when I had it on the 4.10 system it was not even recognized! dmesg did not even seem to notice it. I even tried using kldload to load modules like umass, but no dice. This is why I switched it to the 4.4 system where at least it is recognized. At the moment I don't care *where* I get it connected so long as it is to a FreeBSD system since I need to format it to a FreeBSD filesystem rather than FAT32. Ideally though I'd like to have it connected to a 4.10 (and in the future presumably a 4.11 or 5.X when 5.X is production quality).
