What is a good MOTHERBOARD ? ( FreeBSD 4.6-RC2 / Raid 1 )
URGENT!! I am on an emergency search to purchase a new motherboard / CPU that will run with [ Version: Freebsd 4.6-RC2 / RAID 1 configuration ]. What motherboard are you currently using that has ZERO problems while using Raid 1? Also, if you can link me to the site in which you purchased it from I am ready to buy one right now. Thank you in advance... Ethan P.S. -- I have just purchased a brand new A7V333 a few weeks back and the Raid 1 mirror will not last more than 24 hours so I must find an alternate board / cpu immediately! Yes, I have tried several modifications but mirror continues to remove itself from the configuration. _ Add MSN 8 Internet Software to your current Internet access and enjoy patented spam control and more.

Freebsd ( Raid1 / Mirror Lost ) 10-22-03
[ FreeBSD 4.6-RC2 ] Hello, I have been running Freebsd on several servers here for the past 7 years and just 1 month ago the Raid1 mirror broke for no apparent reason. After trying every possible method to fix this machine I went and purchased a brand new A7V333 Motherboard ( the exact same motherboard that was in it before ), 2 new hard drives, new power supply, CPU, etc... so the machine is now 100% brand new to weed out any additional questions of a hardware failure only to find that the same exact thing is happening. I can boot the machine and create the arrays as they should be created and everything runs just fine for approximately 10-15 hours and then whammo, the message below appears: ad4: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata2: resetting device ad4: removed from configuration ar0: WARNING - mirror lost ad4: deleted from ar0 disk0 done The machine continues to run, however it is only functioning on one drive and the mirror is lost! I have other machines running with the exact same hardware, etc.. from years ago that are still pumping away perfectly but the new motherboard / hardware is failing the system. Any ideas? Can someone possibly help out here... It would be greatly appreciated -- Thank you in advance!

mountroot Please Help / URGENT..
Date: 12-22-02 Operating System / Configuration: FreeBSD 4.6 with RAID 1 ( Mirrored ) Situation: I have 2 active drives running in the same machine at all times. In addition, I have 1 extra drive that sits on the shelf with a copy of the previous backup that I swap out with one of the other active drives every week. When I swap out the drive from the shelf with one of the drives in the machine upon booting it says array failure so I press Ctrl + F and re-create the array. After successful replication has taken place I reboot the machine and everything runs flawlessly as it should... However, here is the problem: The remaining drive that I leave on the shelf for additional backup will NOT boot up as a single drive to get data off that I need very badly... Upon booting it brings me to this prompt: === Manual root filesystem specification: fstype:device Mount device using filesystem fstype Example: ufs:/dev/da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices empty line Abort manual input Mountroot === I then type: mountroot ufs:/dev/ar0s1a and receive this message: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ar0s1a No such device 'ar' Getrootbyname failed mfs_mountroot: can't find rootvp root mount failed: 6 - I then type: mountroot ufs:/dev/ad0s1a and it lets me log in with read-only access and browsing is limited to the /root /dev /etc directory. I then 'cat' the FSTAB directory to see this configuration: /dev/ar0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ar0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ar0s1e /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acodoc /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 - Would anyone able to help me out with this situation ? The data on the backup drive is VERY IMPORTANT and I can't get to it... I can be reached via email and I will reply immediately!! Please have the subject line pertaining to FreeBSD / Backup Drives or something comparable to that so I do not accidentally delete it thinking it is spam...
